Course Overview

Our criminology degree shines a light on policing, punishment, and the courts but goes much further. When it comes to justice and rights, you’ll analyze the significance of class, gender, sexuality, and family origin.

You’ll explore the spectrum of crime, from antisocial behavior and domestic violence to corporate crime, genocide, and state crime. Visiting academics and experts will enable you to put your studies into context.

As a criminology student, you’ll be based in our £6 million Law and Psychology building, which provides ultra-modern teaching and learning facilities. You’ll attend lectures, seminars, and workshops and carry out independent study. We also provide the opportunity for you to do research fieldwork and a work placement. These will add a practical edge to what you’ve learned, and help you stand out to employers.
