Course summary

This undergraduate criminology degree at Northumbria University is the ideal choice for anyone with a critical and enquiring mind. If you have an interest in the causes of crime and victimisation, and the ways in which societies respond to crime, this course is for you. You will learn from an experienced academic team who span a range of specialist backgrounds. Members of our team hold leading roles in professional associations, including the British Society of Criminology. From day one you will gain invaluable insight into the complex areas of crime, deviance, and social policy As this criminology degree progresses, you have the opportunity to apply your knowledge to the real world via a work placement and a series of modules that allow you to plan, conduct, and analyse research first-hand.In Criminology, our approach to teaching evolves in line with changes in the sector. Multi-agency working is become more commonplace and this has led to a greater need for graduates with highly developed inter-personal skills. Research skills are also in greater demand than ever before. The BSc provides you with the chance to take part in optional work experience modules and placements. This includes working with the police, within a prison or within the public/voluntary sector. There are also opportunities to spend a semester or year abroad to experience the study of criminology in an alternative culture. We place a real emphasis on developing the transferable skills that will open doors to a range of criminology careers and advanced study opportunities. These include writing, communication, analytical and problem-solving skills, quantitative and qualitative research skills, as well as the ability to work individually and in groups. Our graduates go on to careers in criminal justice and social work settings a number of students secured these roles where they were on placement during their degree. Others go on to have varied careers in teaching, research, local and national government and third sector employment. A number continue in education.
