Content

If you are interested in studying crime and society, then the BA (Hons) Sociology and Criminology degree will give you a solid grounding in both disciplines. The course offers students the opportunity to study a wide range of sociological and criminological themes and topics across a broad sweep of modules, emphasising the value of empirical and theoretical approaches. This is achieved by exploring the changing nature of the social world and of crime, and addressing the social, political, historical and individual forces behind such changes.

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