Course programme
- In year 1 you will benefit from introductory modules including criminal justice and thinking about crime. You will also have the opportunity to explore the relationship between the citizen and the state. Alongside this, you will study the social groups most likely to be in need of social care services and how social care services are organised. Other opportunities include enhancing your study skills and undertaking a period of supervised voluntary work in a voluntary or community-based organisation.
- Year 2 looks at concepts of values and theories of assessment and communication. You will have the opportunity to study issues that affect different service user groups and enhance your understanding of the legal and policy context of social care. You will gain a deeper understanding of the theories of crime, punishment, sentencing and inequality. Through focusing upon the police and society you will explore the history of the modern police force in the criminal justice system. You will analyse principles of criminal liability through the examination of particular offences.
- Year 3 explores the management of welfare and the joined up nature of policy implementation. This final year encourages the development of analytical skills to compare the provision and delivery of social care within European states. Opportunities are available to consider issues around quality care, especially with regard to issues such as staff management, health and safety, and financial management. You will explore contemporary issues in criminology and criminal justice, terrorism and state crime; looking at the UK and global perspectives. The submission of a Criminology and Criminal Justice Project or a project in Social Care will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge further or you may opt to undertake a work placement and carry out a related research project for an organisation.
