Course summary

Shining a spotlight on criminology from a sociological perspective, find out whether some people are more likely to commit crime or be a victim of crime and discover what social factors can drive a person in a criminal direction. Tackle hot topics such as social exclusion, human trafficking, terrorism, penology, policing, victimology, and many other eye-opening components. This course will give you the sophisticated knowledge and analytical skillset needed for breaking into the public and social sectors. Choose from either a 30-week ‘sandwich’ placement, or a shorter four-week placement – crucial for enhancing your employability. Develop your own piece of research based on a topic that interests you, or aligns itself with your future career or study plans, in your final year dissertation. Learn from research-active social scientists in fields including society and social formation, social anthropology, criminology, cultural diversity and social welfare. Be career ready - within fifteen months of graduating 93% of students were in work or further study.
