BA (Hons) Criminology
What are the causes of crime? How can crime be prevented? Do prisons work? What are the alternatives? Is sentencing fair? These are some of the cutting-edge questions we consider on our course.
This course is ideal if you are interested in a career in the criminal justice sector, in professions such as policing, community safety or youth offending.
Coventry has a reputation for teaching excellence and is officially recognised by Skills for Justice, the sector skills council and standards setting body for the justice sector.
We place a strong emphasis on relevant work experience and have excellent professional links with the Police, HM Prison Service and youth Offending Service. Our partnership with Warwickshire Police to provide Police Support Volunteers was the first scheme of its kind in the country.
