Sociology and Criminology, BA (Hons)

Our BA (Hons) Sociology and Criminology degree at Birmingham City University is a dynamic, theory-driven programme that combines practical application with global perspectives, encouraging students to actively engage in sociology by questioning social norms and examining everyday practices in various contexts.The course integrates criminology to explore crime, inequality, power dynamics, and identity formation, while the Birmingham 2029 project allows for real-world application in a diverse urban setting. With strong ties to local organisations, it emphasises employability through embedded placements and skills development for graduate success and social impact. An optional professional placement year, following the second year, offers hands-on experience with employers, supported by university networks, though fees apply at 20% of the full-time rate.
