BA (Hons) Criminology

Plymouth Marjon University, United Kingdom

Course Overview

You will study crime from various perspectives ranging from seemingly simple questions such as ‘what is crime?’ to considering the impact of the media on our understanding of crime and the way we deal with crimes such as youth violence and domestic abuse. As a Marjon criminology graduate, you will have a thorough understanding of the social, political and cultural nature of crime and how crime is addressed locally, nationally and globally.

You’ll see how your learning is applied in real-world settings via our strong working relationships with a range of crime-related and criminal justice organisations, including Devon and Cornwall Police, The British Red Cross, various drug and alcohol service providers and HM Prison Service.
