About the course

This joint honours BA in Criminology and Sociology explores fundamental questions about societal organisation, the categorisation of behaviour as crime, and the impact of the digital age. Students will examine how societies function locally and globally, analyse crime causes and control mechanisms, and customise their studies through optional modules on topics like policing, gender, social media, cults, and migration. Opportunities for hands-on experience via placements and international study in places such as the Netherlands, Singapore, or the USA prepare graduates for impactful careers in the public, private, or voluntary sectors.The programme structures learning across three years: the first year introduces key traditions and ideas in sociology and criminology; the second deepens understanding of theoretical and methodological foundations through research design and classical/contemporary sociology; and the third allows specialisation via a dissertation and elective modules, fostering advanced skills for professional success.

What you will learn

In the first year, you will explore significant traditions and ideas in the disciplines of sociology and criminology in your core modules. Year two will develop your understanding of the theoretical and methodological foundations of sociology and criminology. We will encourage you to explore these through core modules focusing on research design and classical and contemporary sociology. Year three provides the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge through researching for and writing a dissertation on a topic of your choice. There is also a choice of optional modules allowing you to specialise in your areas of interest.
