Course summary

This course provides you with the opportunity to study two main subject areas Criminology and Criminal Justice. Criminology examines theories and evidence relating to crime, criminals and victims, while Criminal Justice studies explore the various responses to crime and victims, from informal to formal legislative measures of social control and crime prevention and examine the way in which the criminal justice system works - from policing through to imprisonment and rehabilitation.The degree is designed to provide students with the practical knowledge and understanding of how criminal justice system works as well as an opportunity to consider the social and cultural factors that influence people’s decision to engage in criminal activity. Within the degree students gain a broad knowledge base of crime and crime control but also have the opportunity to focus on several distinct and complex areas of human behaviour such as drug abuse, interpersonal violence and organised criminality.Placement Year and International Experience Year AvailableCareersBangor Criminology and Criminal justice graduates have a range of career pathways they can explore. Within the criminal justice system there is work in a number of different areas to consider such as a police officer, prison or probation officer, working in immigration control and youth justice. Along with these routes there are several support roles within these organisations available for graduates to pursue. During the degree students will learn how to conduct social science research which provides them with several transferrable skills useful in a variety of careers. Being able to design and manage research projects as well as highly developed communication skills and skills in critical analysis mean this degree has a great deal of versatility. Graduates can also look for work in local and national government and within the private security sector where their knowledge of policing and criminal justice are useful. Students can also go on to study at postgraduate level on one of our many MA courses.
