First, we prepare you for your degree during your Foundation year, bringing you up to speed with academic skills and a firm grounding in the subject. Then you can go on to do the full undergraduate degree. As a criminology student, youll investigate the nature of crime and criminality, studying societys response through the criminal justice system. Youll learn how societies try to control and punish crime and disorder, gaining a theoretical and practical understanding of this fascinating subject.
