Some subjects are about hard, uncontested facts. The proven formulas the clear truths. This criminology degree goes beyond the black and white - prepare yourself instead for some eye-opening shades of grey. students are good people, and they’re on a mission. They believe in a better, safer, fairer world. Criminology at NTU is about questions, values, and perceptions - from your emotional response to big news stories, to how you feel walking home alone. Our whole sense of who we are as a society revolves around our relationship with crime. That’s why this criminology degree isn’t just about the criminal justice system - it’s about human beings. The study highlights of our criminology degree include: working on live projects and employer challenges, with partners like Nottingham Citizens, the Holocaust Centre, and G4S meeting guest speakers and alumni from across the industry, who’ll share their experiences and help you to answer that key question: ‘What can you do with a criminology degree’ a huge range of specialist modules to pick from in your third year, with the chance to explore crime through the contexts of media representation, race, gender, culture, ecology, and much, much more the opportunity to study abroad at one of our international partner universities the ‘Prison Sandwich’ route, where you can gain vital criminology work experience by completing a year-long paid placement in a real working prison. It’s a competitive application process and a tough environment, but our students find it a transformative and incredibly valuable experience.
