The structure allows you to personalise your studies to match your ambitions, if you aspire for a career in criminal justice, social research, policy development, or any field connected to social justice.<br/><br/>You will study the development of Sociological and Criminological perspectives and learn why these matter so much in contemporary society.<br/><br/>Alongside this, you will gain an in-depth knowledge of crucial social and crime-related matters, such as substance use, housing and poverty.<br/><br/>Throughout your studies, you will develop a range of transferable skills which are relevant to future employment, both in social science-related professions, as well as far broader.<br/><br/>You will spend a year abroad between your second and final year, broadening your skills and experience.
