Course summary
Our dynamic Sociology with Criminology degree is tailor-made for those fascinated by the complexities of society and the intricacies of criminal justice. In a world grappling with diverse social challenges and evolving crime and criminal justice dynamics, there's a growing demand for informed, critical thinkers who can navigate these issues. This course melds the study of societal structures with an in-depth exploration of criminological theories, offering a comprehensive understanding of both fields. Our curriculum is designed to immerse you in a range of topics, from the foundations of sociological thought to contemporary debates in criminology. You will delve into areas such as social inequality, deviance, criminal behaviour, and the functioning of criminal justice institutions. The course empowers you with the analytical tools to understand and critically assess how societal forces shape criminal phenomena. Through our interactive learning approach, you'll engage in case studies and simulations and engage with experts, gaining practical insights into real-world scenarios. Graduates are well-equipped for careers in social research, community development, criminal justice, and policy analysis or for further academic pursuits in sociology or criminology. Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.
