Why study criminology* with us

This means that during your time studying you’ll gain an understanding of the criminal justice system and the different career paths you might want to pursue after graduation. This could be joining the police or opting to work for support services and charities that focus on policy and reform.
During your studies, you’ll explore the problem of crime, its causes and consequences and to examine in-depth the workings and effectiveness of the criminal justice system. We'll provide an inclusive learning experience that is intellectually engaging, challenging, supportive and respectful of students from all backgrounds.
Beyond the course itself, you’ll get access at some of the leading experts in the field as we have been at the forefront of criminological teaching and research since the 1970s. Studying here will provide you with links to several areas of professional employment, both nationally and internationally, in the criminal justice sector and regulatory bodies, as well as voluntary, health, education, and housing sectors.
Gain the skills you need to start your career
Our course will help you to develop your analytical and communication skills while you research and understand policy. You’ll do so through a series of presentations on criminology and its practices within the UK and internationally, building confidence. Your classes will combine criminal theory and detailed examination of real-life case studies from criminal justice settings so you can always see how theory can be applied practically.
The course is shaped by leading criminology research, ensuring that you graduate with knowledge of the latest policy developments in criminology and criminal justice. You'll focus on how the policies are created and implemented, evaluating its influence on society.
We frequently host guest lectures from academics, activists, and criminal justice practitioners who bring their specialist knowledge and passion to help inform and inspire you.
