Course summary
Overview
Our joint honours course allows students to pursue their own areas of interest within Criminology and History whilst also providing them with a solid foundation in both disciplines and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for their future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable students to gradually develop their knowledge and skills and become autonomous, effective and independent learners.
Criminology is a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary subject concerned with analysing the nature, occurrence and explanations of crime, criminal behaviour and societal responses to these phenomena. History is about far more than studying the past. It enables you to discover why people act the way they do and to explore how societies develop.
Links between research and undergraduate teaching are an important and distinctive feature of the programme, and the combined research experience and competencies of staff have shaped its design, content and delivery.
Learning and assessment
In your first year, you’ll develop key academic skills to help you succeed in the course. We’ll also ask some big questions like, What is crime? Why do some people commit crime, but not others? You’ll develop core historical skills whilst studying topics ranging from the beginnings of Europe’s colonisation of the rest of the world to more recent debates on race and the environment.
In your second year, core modules will ask you to questions the status quo: How might capitalism encourage crime? Where and why are there inequalities in the criminal justice system? You’ll explore more specialist historical issues, like what the Jack the Ripper case tells us about Victorians, or how thinkers like Charles Darwin have influenced our culture.
In your final year, you’ll have the freedom to focus on what you care about most, including your dissertation subject. Optional modules include topics like the pleasures of crime, visual criminology, queer criminology, drugs, or policing. You might study life in Renaissance Italy, or the fall of the Russian monarchy.
