Crime and its impact are at the forefront of current political and social debate. We only have to check social media, switch on the television or pick up a newspaper to see headlines about crime and victimization and realise how relevant the study of criminology has become to everyday life. Our Criminology BSc enables you to explore the reality behind these headlines and examine a topic that is relevant, topical, and has actual, practical application in contemporary society. Leicester has one of the very few schools in the country exclusively dedicated to teaching and researching criminology, and we are home to some of the UK's leading criminologists. As such, you will benefit from a pure, focused, and definitive education in the study of crime. Our strong performance in the National Student Survey since it began in 2005 reflects the popularity of the course among our students, as well as the dedication of the academic staff.
