Criminology BA (Hons)
This program will help provide you with transferable skills useful in the criminal justice sector and allied career fields (social work, drugs, and alcohol programs). You can develop your practical experience through a wide range of volunteering opportunities (through the DMU Students' Union) in local criminal justice agencies, including HM Prison and Probation Service, youth offending services, and victim support.
This is an applied course and you will learn first-hand from a team of experienced academics who have strong links with the British Society of Criminology and the British Sociological Association.
You will study a range of topics, including Crime and Punishment in Contemporary Society, Crime, Risk and Community Safety, and Young People and the Criminal Justice System. As the course progresses, you will have the flexibility to tailor your learning through optional modules to your desired pathway.
Upon graduation, there are a variety of career paths available, including policing, private security, crime prevention, victim support, prison and probation service, youth justice, and drug and alcohol services.
