Course Overview

Studying Sociology with Criminology at LSBU means learning to see the world though a different lens. You will be guided to dig deep into contemporary social questions by expert, experienced and enthusiastic academics doing cutting-edge research. You will join an academic community committed to social justice and dedicated to helping students fulfil their potential.

The course at LSBU provides you with the opportunity to grapple with many current issues such as globalisation, gender, religion, sexuality, identity formation, nationalism and more. We ask big questions, too. How is climate change linked to the crimes of the powerful? Are prisons the appropriate response to criminal acts? Are we all treated equally before the law?

The course is also linked to the LSBU Crime and Justice Research Group that organises a series of research seminars and public events throughout the year. You will be encouraged to attend and participate in these events to enhance your learning experience and meet with researchers, practitioners and campaigners.

Here at LSBU we help you focus on your future through our core work-experience module in Year 2. We develop your abilities as an investigator of society and we develop your skills and confidence in key areas to help you turn your degree into an excellent career.
