  • A brand-new degree designed by leading academics and researchers from two popular disciplines in social sciences
  • Develop your ability to understand the cross-roads between Criminology and International Relations
  • Learn from nationally and internationally recognised experts in the fields of Criminology and International Relations
  • Join a highly motivated and research active academic community
  • Specialise on pressing topics relating to crime, international politics, justice and security including but not limited to warfare, terrorism, globalisation, crime prevention and protest.

A new degree which will encourage students to critically examine the intersections between Criminology and International Relations

In a global age, the links between crime, harm, deviance, and global contexts remain at the forefront of public and policy debates. To understand the world we live in today and develop opinions on how to engage with this fast-paced world, the BA (Hons) Criminology and International Relations degree at Liverpool John Moores University will provide you with a thorough, critical and nuanced understanding of the fields of Criminology and International Relations.

By studying this unique programme, students get to explore how crime and crime prevention increasingly transcend state borders through a range of theoretical and real-world case studies of state and non-state actors, law enforcement agencies and non-governmental organisations. The degree will encourage you to develop your critical thinking skills as you interrogate concepts of crime, punishment, justice, security and globalisation in order to make sense of a dynamic and fast-changing world.

While this course will enable you to acquire traditional academic knowledge and understandings, it is also geared towards the development of transferable skills that are essential for employment-related success.
