**Understanding the society we live in and the minds of criminals within it.**<br/>Are you keen to grow your knowledge of criminological and sociological theories and concepts? Do you want to understand what makes these disciplines distinctive and explore social research methods through real world research?<br/><br/>Our Criminology and Sociology degree will develop your intellectual curiosity. You will explore the relationship between crime, justice and society on the one hand, and link individual actions to social structures on the other, all through an examination of contemporary theories, policies and practice. As an active and responsible member of global society, you will use your knowledge to think independently, as well as to challenge the opinions and conduct of others. You will recognise the value of your discipline in shaping society, through critical evidence-based responses to crime and criminal justice problems.<br/><br/>**What opportunities will you have in a Criminology and Sociology degree?**<br/>You will have the option to apply for a relevant work placement – for instance, in a prison or police station – and learn from lecturers who are also leading researchers in a variety of cutting-edge research fields in criminology and sociology. You can take part in modules that speak to our other thought-provoking specialisms within criminology (e.g. victimisation, sex work) and sociology (e.g. happiness, international development), offering synergised breadth and depth across both disciplines.
