Program Description Shining a spotlight on criminology from a sociological perspective, this degree will give students the sophisticated knowledge and analytical skillset needed for breaking into the public and social sectors, as well as the criminal justice system. It is also a great starting block for further study. Taught by academic experts and specialist guest speakers, students will get to grips with advanced theory, tackling curriculum hot topics such as social exclusion, trafficking, migration, terrorism, anthropology, globalisation, and many other eye-opening components. Praised for its flexibility, the course allows students to complete either a 30-week placement in their third year, or a 20-day placement in their second year – crucial for enhancing their employability. Plus, in the final year students will get the chance to develop their own piece of research based on a topic that interests them, or perhaps aligns itself with future career or study plans, in the form of a final year dissertation. 90% of final year students are in employment or further study within 6 months of graduating.
