Criminology BA

As an academic subject criminology is both theoretical and empirical with a focus on social scientific explanations for crime, victimisation and deviance. It also looks at the responses to these crimes by societies and individuals. The inter-disciplinary nature of the subject is mirrored in the construction of our programme. Core modules in criminology are complemented by optional modules in applied criminology, sociology, forensic science, law, psychology and policing, this prompts shared learning with students from other disciplines. You’ll be taught through a combination of interactive lectures, workshops and seminars. On this course you'll never have an exam, instead, you’ll be assessed through a mix of case reports, presentations, and consultancy projects. Throughout your degree there are opportunities to attend extracurricular talks, research conferences, and workshops to enhance you understanding of the criminal justice sector.
