Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology (Placement Year)

BA(Hons) Criminology teaches students about crime and the criminal justice system, drawing on sociology, law, psychology and philosophy, and applying theories, knowledge and research to real, contemporary issues.

Work with inspirational practitioners and researchers to explore the different perspectives of victims, offenders, the criminal justice system and the cultural forces at play.

Learn how to think critically, write reports, interpret data, formulate arguments, and make ethical judgements.

Students will carry out their own research, hear from guest speakers, and take part in work-based learning through UWE's links with organizations such as the Bristol Young Offenders Scheme, the Institute of Psychotherapy and the police.

Activities such as volunteering, placements and internships will deepen students' professional skills and knowledge further, to make them highly sought after when they graduate.
