Specialisms
We believe in giving you the freedom to make your life your own. That's why at BNU we want to expand your possible options as much as we can. We introduce you to various different subjects in your first year, and then allow you to choose what course you like after you've got a taste of them all. You can choose to stay on BSc (Hons) Criminology or switch to BSc (Hons) Criminology and Forensic Studies or BSc (Hons) Criminology and Law after your first year. The number of years you need to do remain the same but you have more freedom to make your degree your own as you go through it.
These specialisms are also offered as Foundation Years. The Foundation Year will allow you to develop your academic study skills and build confidence in your abilities, identifying your own strengths and development needs for progression onto an undergraduate programme and these are available if you didn't meet the entry requirements.
