Criminology
Are you interested in the way our laws are made, where power comes from in our political system and how effective the criminal justice system is?
Our Criminology courses deliver a diverse programme covering why a person commits a crime, how punishment works, the application of law and a critical understanding of society and individuals.
This will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to enter a career in the criminal justice sector – from policing to law and government.
