BA (Hons) Criminology and Sociology

Combine the perspective of sociology with the focus of criminology to explore solutions that will have long-term positive impacts. Explore the connection between crime and society, and understand how you can make a difference. Apply your knowledge to real-life issues through our Social Justice Hub. Gain an additional professional qualification in youth justice. Chance to go on an international study trip focusing on conflict resolution. Combining insights from both these disciplines will give you a deep understanding of what shapes people’s behaviour, beliefs and attitudes. You’ll explore the reasons why people commit crime and the social factors at play, including inequality, prejudice and substance abuse. You’ll also look at the impact that crime has on both local communities and wider society. And you’ll apply your learning to help make a difference with local communities. This course could open up career opportunities to work for or with national or local government, the charity sector, the voluntary sector, social or health services.
