The Criminology programme at the University of Suffolk has strong disciplinary foundations in Sociology, Psychology, Law, Social Policy and Philosophy, and will enable you to engage with the contemporary ideas and debates about crime. You will explore these questions with inspirational lecturers and in discussion with your fellow students. Our small class sizes and excellent tutor support help you maximise your achievement and employability skills. The degree tackles controversial public issues and encourages open debate. Throughout the programme you are introduced to a range of research methods and their ethical considerations which are essential to be able to understand and challenge the limitations and ambiguities of research. The skills you develop in handling information will provide key employment relevant skills for a wide range of graduate careers.The programme has excellent links with Suffolk Constabulary, local magistrates and courts, the Crown Prosecution Service, probation services and the prison service. We also have regular guest speakers who work in the field with victims and offenders.
