Criminology and Criminal Justice with a Year Abroad Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Ranked highly for student experience and employability, our Criminology degree gives you the framework to understand and tackle real-life issues, from cybercrime to extremism.

Our undergraduate BSC in Criminology and Criminal Justice explores the complex factors that shape criminal behaviour, the decisions that define certain acts as criminal, and the ways society responds to deviance and harm.

You will engage with key criminological theories and apply them to real-world issues such as gender and crime, terrorism and extremism, hate crime, race and racism, environmental harms, cybercrime, and more.

You’ll examine the role of the criminal justice system and crime agencies, and will explore the challenges they face in a rapidly changing society. But you won’t just observe, you will also have an opportunity to assess criminal incidents in real-time through our state-of-the-art Hydra simulations suite. This degree will prepare you to think critically, act ethically, and make a meaningful impact in the field of criminology and beyond.

This programme includes opportunities to undertake a Semester or Year Abroad, spent in locations such as the USA, Canada, China, Hong Kong, or Singapore, enhancing your learning and offering invaluable life experience.
