What you will study
Our Criminology and Sociology degree is taught within our interdisciplinary School of Social Sciences.
Crime and justice are endlessly fascinating subjects. Studying sociology and criminology with us, you’ll develop your understanding of the concepts, theories and principles of both criminology and sociology. You’ll explore why people commit crime, the relationship between behaviours and punishments, and the workings of the criminal justice system.
You’ll develop your research and analytical skills in addressing contemporary criminological and sociological problems. You’ll master the methods and analytical tools required to conduct and evaluate research on contemporary problems relating to crime, deviance and social control.
From the second year, you’ll also be able to choose from a wide variety of different modules, such as hate crime and cyber crime, among others. All our modules are taught by experts in the field and cover issues at the cutting-edge of current criminological and sociological debates.
Which criminology undergraduate degree is right for me?
We offer five pathways to study criminology. Let us take you through the differences between all of our courses so you know what makes each of them special.
Foundation year
If you don’t meet our entry requirements, you might still be able to apply for this degree with a Social Sciences Foundation Year. This is an extra year of study to develop your skills and make it easier for you to get started at university. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree.
To see what modules you’ll be studying, refer to the foundation tab in the 'Course structure' section. Please note that this course is currently under review.
Facilities
You’ll be able to take advantage of a range of facilities on this course, including a recently expanded and fully networked computer laboratory.
The course also makes increasing use of online resources, including module guides and student discussion forums.
