BSc CRIMINOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY This degree combines Criminology, the field of study which focuses on criminalisation, victimisation and social responses to crime and disorder, with Sociology, the study of human life as found in groups, institutions and societies. You will gain an in-depth knowledge of crucial social and crime-related matters, such as substance use, housing and poverty. Modules on offer will reflect staff research interests across a range of criminological and sociological concerns and approaches, for example: gender, education, social problems, social media, culture and consumption, health, migration and ethnic relations. 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 in a broader range of fields.
