Why do people commit crimes? And what should we do about it? From offender to victim, punishment to rehabilitation, this Bachelor in Criminology (BSc) degree asks questions about the causes and consequences of crime.
94% of graduates in work or further study 15 months after this course
As students become experts on criminology and the criminal justice system in England and Wales, they will develop skills for a range of careers – from policing and prisons, to probation and rehabilitation, as well as roles fighting fraud in the private sector or influencing Government policy. And because crime doesn’t respect borders, this course also gives them a uniquely international perspective.
