Course summary
This course includes a foundation year - ideal if you need additional preparation or if you don't have sufficient grades to join Year 1 of a degree. Course details: Criminology is the study of crime within society, but, what is crime, why do people offend and what should we do with criminals? Why do we focus on crimes of the powerless, are crimes of the powerful more harmful? What is the role of the police and the criminal justice system? How does the news and media shape our understanding and experience of crime? How do race, gender, age, sexual orientation and class shape experiences of crime and victimisation? How does our more globalised world shape localised experiences of crime? If you have an enquiring mind, an interest in these questions and being part of the solution, then criminology is for you. Transferable skills gained on your degree apply to your working life, including presentation skills, creating a podcast illustrates IT skills, and analysis, evaluation and critique skills help determine what works across the criminal justice system. Top reasons to study this course: 1. Staff are research active which underpins their teaching, and means you gain a contemporary, authentic learning experience. 2. Our Inside Out programme sees undergraduates and those in custody apply to work on the same module together – it’s real-life experience. 3.

Build up your general interest in criminology to specialise in your final year on your own piece of research. 5. Opportunities for work experience or a work-related learning project, including Volun-tees, across criminal justice areas such as drug projects, probation and victim support. After the course: You can enter a broad range of careers including the probation service, prison service, police, voluntary organisations and public sector or postgraduate training or study.
