This one year qualification is designed to give learners an introduction to the theory and skills application of criminology.
It is a skills-based qualification, broadly equivalent in size to one AS Level, and would normally be taken as an AS subject. The Criminology Level 3 Certificate can be taken alongside other AS subjects such as law or psychology and students can progress to the Diploma in year two - please ask staff regarding the best options.
Areas of study include:
Changing awareness of crime – gain skills to differentiate between myth and reality when it comes to crime and to recognise that common representations may be misleading and inaccurate.
Criminological theories – gain the skills to evaluate criminological theories and know there are debates within the different theories
