Criminology (BA Hons)

Criminology BA (Hons) provides you with the opportunity to study issues relating to crime and deviance. This may include the way in which crime and deviance is represented to the way in which the justice system responds to it. Criminology offers you the opportunity to develop a critical understanding of issues that reflect your concerns about crime and deviance.

The programme provides ample scope to pursue your own interests through assignments and opportunities to contribute to criminological debates. Students will gain a sound understanding of various theoretical perspectives and be trained in the qualitative and quantitative research methods used by criminologists. We will work with you to develop a critical knowledge of the relationship between theory and empiricism and help you to initiate, design, planand execute research that supports your personal interests. On this course there is an emphasis on the development of reasoned thought and action and transferable critical thinking skills.
