Join the global mission to stop criminals exploiting the internet. On the UK’s first BSc (Hons) course in Criminology and Cybercrime, you'll explore the future of policing and how criminal organisations operate online. You'll learn to make a difference, not by fighting tech with tech, but by understanding the human aspects of cybercrime.
