Criminology with Police Studies (BA Hons)

Criminology with Police Studies BA (Hons) combines the academic study of issues relating to crime and deviance with modules covering aspects of modern policing. This may include the way in which crime and deviance is represented to the way in which the policing system responds to it. Criminology with Police Studies offers you a structured opportunity to develop a critical understanding of issues that reflect your concerns about crime, deviance and policing.

The programme provides you with excellent foundational knowledge of criminology and policing. We will work with you to develop a critical understanding of the relationship between theory and empiricism and help you to initiate, design, plan and execute research that supports your personal interests. There is an emphasis on the development of reasoned thought and action and transferable critical thinking skills. You will develop proficiency in using criminological theories and methods to analyse complex social problems related to policing, such as domestic violence,  mental health and community policing. Students also gain a sound understanding of various theoretical perspectives and are trained in the qualitative and  quantitative research methods used by criminologists and police.

Graduates find employment in professional areas such as law enforcement, policing, criminal justice, youth work, working with vulnerable groups and research. This degree also provides an excellent basis for further studies.
