Course summary
Criminology and sociology is the ideal degree if you seek to understand the changing world we live in. It takes a stimulating approach to the two subjects that share many theories and concepts. Informed by both established and radical new perspectives, the course encourages you to consider the impacts of social inequality and social change taking place both locally and globally and its causes and consequences. You’ll benefit from a placement in the local community and from visiting guest speakers who share their knowledge on a wide range of topics. Through option modules you can tailor the course to your interests and you can also choose to go on an international exchange in Spain or Sweden.
