How are societies organised? How and why are certain kinds of behaviour categorised as ‘crime, and how should we respond? What has been the influence of the digital age on our society?
Youll address questions like this on our joint honours BA Criminology and Sociology, by studying a variety of modules from both subjects. You'll get to explore how society works both locally and globally. Youll think about the causes of crime and how societies attempt to control it.
With a wide range of optional modules, you can tailor your degree to your interests and career aspirations. Interested in policing, gender, social media, cults, or migration? With our degree, you'll gain a unique perspective on these topics and more.
Take part in the placements scheme for hands-on experience, putting your knowledge to the test in the real world. And why stop there? You can gain a global perspective by studying abroad in locations such as the Netherlands, Singapore, or the USA.
Whether you're looking to make an impact in the public, private or voluntary sector, our course will equip you with the tools you need to succeed. Come and unlock your potential - your future career awaits.
Careers overview
A degree in criminology and sociology can provide a solid foundation for work in local or national government, or in voluntary associations engaged with the social issues deriving from criminal behaviour. You could also pursue a criminal justice career, in the police, prison or probation service.
Your personal tutor will oversee your academic and personal development, and will offer support with your studies and welfare. There are also regular careers talks and events on enhancing your CV.
In addition to the subject-specific knowledge that you will build throughout this course, you'll develop key transferable skills that are in high-demand by employers. These skills will benefit you in roles within local or national government, voluntary associations engaged with the social issues deriving from criminal behaviour, and with private companies with interests in security and risk assessment.
