Course summary

Criminology:

As a criminology student at the University of Roehampton, you will be able to explore these fascinating questions, drawing from a range of other disciplines including sociology, psychology and law.

Criminologists study crime, the criminal justice system and society’s response to the impact of criminal behaviour. On this exciting degree, you will study contemporary problems relating to crime prevention, criminalisation and social control.

During your time at Roehampton, you will develop a critical understanding of how the criminal justice system operates and the debates surrounding the relationship between punishment, rehabilitation and crime prevention.

Tackling both problems and solutions relating to harmful behaviours in society, we offer a wide range of stimulating modules that will build your knowledge over the three years you are with us. You will be introduced to the multitude of ways to think about and analyse crime and be able to specialise in areas such as the regulation, control and punishment of young people in society, or mass incarceration, war crimes, terrorism and anti-terrorism.

Our BSc Criminology is all-encompassing, and further areas of study include punishment and prisons, gang culture, the criminal justice system and legislation, serial killers, and human trafficking. As a Roehampton graduate, you will become an independent, critical thinker, with the skills to analyse official and popular conceptions of crime.

Sociology:

Sociology is about exploring the building blocks of society. It’s the study of the connections that bind us together: families, organisations, cultures and social groups.

Our BSc Sociology degree will provide you with a deep understanding of how societies are created and how they change over time. Throughout the course, you will learn how educational attainment, ethnicity, gender and geography not only play a part in people’s place in society but shape their perception of it as well.

During your three years at Roehampton, you will be offered a wide range of modules so you can specialise in your specific, sociological interests. You could explore issues through the context of race and ethnicity, power and politics, culture and communication, or all the above.

The course is taught with a strong practical approach, enabling you to apply your lived and everyday experiences to key issues. We will foster your critical thinking skills, and offer opportunities for you to develop valuable, hands-on skills for your career, as you analyse the world through focus groups, interviews and surveys.
