Bachelor of Science - Criminology and Sociology (L3M9)

The BSc Criminology and Sociology degree combines two vibrant subjects to offer both a detailed understanding of crime, its causes and prevention and a broader knowledge of how societies are shaped by social forces relating to power, discrimination and inequality.

The BSc Criminology and Sociology degree brings together core and advanced modules in sociology and criminology to give students a unique ability to understand why the societies we live in are so often characterised by discrimination, conflict and disorder. Through studying social and criminological theory and methods students will learn to explain how society responds to different forms of crime and deviance. The course will teach students to analyse the social world, its composition and the forces that change it, and to apply these skills to understanding the most pressing current social issues relating to key topical areas such as gender, sexuality, race and racism, social class and inequality.

This Criminology and Sociology BSc (Hons) degree is an ideal course for those who have an interest in social justice and social issues and wish to study a diverse range of topics relating to the challenges and opportunities faced by modern societies.
