BA (Hons) Sociology and Criminology

... United Kingdom
... Leeds Beckett University

Course Overview

Develop your critical analytical and interpretive skills and forge a deeper sociological understanding of the world around you.

As part of this course, you’ll:

  • Learn to understand the complex social conditions that drive people to commit crimes and how that expert knowledge can enhance your study of criminology

  • Critically analyse and challenge responses to crime in order to help shape a better society

  • Study a variety of topics such as modern theories of sociology and criminology, exploring issues such as youth crime, social exclusion and how the media shapes our perceptions of crime

  • Choose your own area of investigation when researching and writing your dissertation

You’ll engage with sociology and criminology equally. Through a blend of workshops, collaborative projects and observational field trips, you’ll be encouraged to drive your studies in the direction of your choosing.

Sociological projects can include creating wikis or presenting your work at a student conference. You could even see your critical essay published in our school's highly regarded sociology journal.
