Criminology with Offending Behaviour and Social Policy with Foundation Year - BA (Hons)

Why do people offend, and how can social policy help create safer, fairer communities Our Criminology with Offending Behaviour and Social Policy explores the causes of crime and offending. It examines how criminal justice systems, rehabilitation services, and social policies respond to some of society’s most pressing challenges. You’ll develop a strong foundation in criminological theory before investigating issues such as violence, victimisation, imprisonment, rehabilitation, social inequality, and the wider social factors that shape criminal behaviour. This four-year course includes an initial full-time Foundation Year and offers an alternative route into university and gaining a degree. This route is for you if you do not have the necessary qualifications or don’t yet feel ready to begin degree-level study, or are returning to education and would like some support to get up to speed with learning in a university setting. The Foundation Year in Criminology, Policing and Sociology will allow you to develop your academic skills and confidence as well as introduce you to key concepts, debates and skills that will support and inform your subsequent years of undergraduate study. Following successful completion of your Foundation Year, you’ll progress onto Year 1 of our Criminology with Offending Behaviour and Social Policy BA (Hons) degree.
