Course Overview

The BSc Criminology and Criminal Justice is a research-led program taught by internationally recognized academics whose research contributes to, and challenges, traditional crime, and criminal justice studies. Led by principles of social and racial justice, the program focuses on contemporary social problems, from prison abolition, migration, and deportation, and social welfare, to gendered violence, terrorism, and drugs.
