Programme structure
Your course in brief
Year 1
You will investigate core criminological concepts and learn the essential research skills to support further exploration of the areas of crime, harm and deviance.
Year 2
The second year further develops your research skills as you unpick the causes of crime, examine policing and punishment, and investigate further types of criminality, criminology and deviance.
Year 3
Your final year gives you a greater opportunity to specialise through a range of optional modules, your own criminological research project and the opportunity to apply for a placement.
Career opportunities
We place a real emphasis on developing the transferable skills that will open doors to a range of criminology careers and advanced study opportunities. These include writing, communication, analytical and problem-solving skills, quantitative and qualitative research skills, as well as the ability to work individually and in groups.
Our graduates go on to careers in criminal justice and social work settings; a number of students secured these roles where they were on placement during their degree. Others go on to have varied careers in teaching, research, local and national government and third sector employment. A number continue in education.
