BSc (Hons) Criminology

Course Overview

Criminology is an academic discipline with strong roots in Sociology, Psychology, Law, Social Policy and Philosophy, and offers a number of robust theoretical and empirical debates. Criminology is an inherently reflexive discipline as it deals with public issues that have a contested value basis. To this end, students will be introduced to a variety of research methods and ethical considerations, so that they can challenge and understand the limitations and ambiguities of research. Criminology graduates are good at problem-solving, have good analytical and research skills, and have excellent information and data management skills. Employability is taken very seriously at the University of Suffolk and employers are directly involved in a number of taught and additional sessions over the course of the degree.
