Course summary
The PGDip in Criminology course allows you to develop specialist knowledge of the current themes and historical debates surrounding crime causation, crime control and regulation. The course equips you with the intellectual, critical and analytical skills needed for understanding and applying criminological theories and concepts in practice. Furthermore, the course provides an in-depth understanding of the interactions between politics, criminology and criminal justice, and the impact of public policy in these areas. This innovative course is taught by experts from sociological, legal and psychological backgrounds with real-world experience. You will benefit from research-led teaching as well as strong links to wider criminal justice professions and industry.
