During your time of study with us, you will come to understand the development of the criminal justice institutions (police, prisons and courts) in the UK, as well as the inter-relationships between these systems, as mechanisms to respond to crimes and social harms
We will consider how different social groups and individuals experience crimes and social harms, as well as the policies and regulatory responses that are supposed to alleviate or ameliorate these issues. During the course, you will also come to understand the construction and representation of crime and of responses to it in policy making, the media in all its forms, and public opinion. We develop in you an understanding and appropriate use of research strategies and methods in criminological research.
In your first year students on all pathways will study the same modules such as, The Criminal Justice Process, Case Studies in the Criminal Justice System and Psychological Contexts of Crime and Punishment.
In your second year, you will study core modules in Law for Justice, Theories of Crime and Justice and begin designing your research project. You will have the opportunity to study three option modules on the Criminology pathway.

Academic year
The course operates on a modular basis that provides flexibility and choice. Typically the majority of modules are 20 and 40 academic credits.
All students take a total of 120 credits per level and 360 credits for the degree as a whole. Your overall grade for the course and your degree classification are based on the marks obtained for modules taken at levels 5 and 6. The courses have one start point in September.

Teaching
Our teaching and learning strategies require you to engage with the curriculum through a variety of means. Teaching and learning methods include lectures, tutorials, student led learning groups; workshops; small group work; research projects; interactive lectures; team teaching; role playing and utilising the opportunities offered by information technology. Our core skills and research modules focus on a wide range of problem-solving activities to support and develop student learning and these are strongly connected to the employability agenda by enhancing transferable skills which are valued in the workplace. Where potential projects can be identified, and resources allow for it, group research projects are undertaken within or for community or voluntary organisations. These research opportunities make the most of the valuable transferable skills inreal rather than purelyacademic learning environments and provide you with real work experience. Seminars and workshops are designed to facilitate in-depth discussion, pursuit of enquiry and a collegiate environment.

Assessment
We recognise the importance of enabling you to benefit from a range of different forms of assessment. Therefore, you will encounter both traditional (for example, unseen examinations and essays) and newer modes of assessment (portfolios; reflective diaries; case studies; presentations). The assessment strategy also includes the reflective portfolio and presentation we use to assess the placement module (and the placement year for those taking the BSc (Hons) Criminology with a Placement Year). Our assessment strategy strives to provide a mixture of controlled forms of assessment (examinations) and autonomous forms which are reviewed annually via award monitoring. This variety of assessment arises from a concern firstly, to ensure that you can realise your educational potential as fully as possible and secondly, to ensure that you are exposed to forms of assessment which enable you to demonstrate a range of learning outcomes appropriate to the particular modules, levels and award.

Learning support
In addition to the excellent support you will receive from your course teaching team, our central Academic Skills team provides group and one-to-one help to support your learning in a number of areas. These include study skills (including reading, note-taking and presentation skills); written English (including punctuation and grammatical accuracy); academic writing (including how to reference); research skills; critical thinking and understanding arguments; and revision, assessment and examination skills (including time management).
Additional support
Our Student Inclusion Services support students with additional needs such as sensory impairment, or learning difficulties such as dyslexia.
Feedback
Feedback on your performance is provided in a variety of ways – all the way through the course you will be receiving informal and more detailed feedback on your performance, in your discussions with teaching staff in seminars or tutorials for instance. Feedback should help you to self-assess your work as you progress through the module and help you to better understand your subject.
Feedback is not just the marks at the end of a module – it could regular verbal advice about your work, perhaps as you develop a portfolio of work, comments made by tutors or fellow students in group discussions or the written comments on your work.
