BA (Hons) Criminology

... United Kingdom
... University of the Highlands & Islands

Course Overview

Criminology draws on a wide range of human and social science disciplines and is both a theoretical and empirical subject, with many of criminology’s most significant advances achieved through empirical studies. Core to this program is developing clear and confident research methods and analysis skills. You will also develop a critical understanding of the local, national, and international context of crime, offenders, victimization, and responses to crime (including cybercrime, crime in literature, and globalization and crime). 

In the first and second years, you will follow a traditional broad approach to the study of criminology. In years three and four, you will examine, in-depth, particular areas of criminology, allowing you to study specific topics and themes that reflect staff research specialisms. Each year, you will build on your analytical and research abilities through the core research methods modules. 

The degree also offers the opportunity to study other Humanities subjects such as sociology, history, literature, archaeology, politics, and theology.
