As academic subjects, Criminology and Politics at university have a basis in both academia and practice. Our Criminology with Politics degree holds a primary focus on research and debated explanations for crime, victimization, and deviance, and responses to those crimes, by societies and individuals. The course moves away from the traditional teaching of the social sciences to embrace the contemporary and innovative topics and practices of 21st-century criminal justice.
Alongside studying Criminology, your course will have a political edge, in that your studies will be contextualized within a wider focus on Westminster, European, and global political philosophies, systems, and challenges. Indeed, in your Criminology with Politics degree not only will you be able to explore the research areas that interest you, but you will also experience a genuine taste of the work you could be doing after you graduate.
Graduates from our Criminology with Politics degree are able to engage with and draw upon a range of intellectual and critical processes in the decisions they make, including the identification and significance of different value positions to everyday practice and politics. We teach topics relevant to today’s global society to encourage graduates to have a sense of social and political responsibility and cultural awareness. Our methods of teaching including the use of online activities will enable you to develop digital capabilities and communication skills relevant to modern workplaces. Our assessments are based on real-world scenarios and use written and presentation elements to ensure you develop key transferable skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, resilience, and teamwork.
