Course Overview

As a student of criminology, you experience a lively, informal environment with many possibilities to pursue your own interests. Our flexible course means that you can study an exciting range of topics, from the impact of computer games on crime to terrorism and illegal migration to policing and controlling society. You'll receive training in criminological methods – how to design a survey, conduct an interview, and use quantitative analysis from basic statistics to big data – in order to ask the difficult questions, and will also have the opportunity to complete a supervised dissertation on a topic that inspires you.

Our BA Criminology is run by the Department of Sociology, which is 2nd in the UK for research power in sociology (Times Higher Education research power measure, Research Excellence Framework 2021).
