Why choose Criminology BA Honours at Middlesex?

This course is ideal if you're interested in how society responds to criminal behaviour and the challenges that this provides.

 

We've been at the forefront of criminological teaching and research since the 1970s and have played a significant role in shaping criminology in the UK and internationally. We were one of the first universities in the UK to develop criminology as an independent area of study, making us a consistent leader in the industry. All our lecturers are involved in undertaking research and these experiences often inform their teaching.

What you will learn

You'll be taught by staff currently involved in researching important issues related to crime and justice, and the findings of their research will influence your learning and research skills. You'll learn to understand the factors that influence criminological research, policy and practice, and learn the research and analysis skills.

 

One of the main strengths of our criminology degrees is that we 'team-teach' a number of our core and optional modules. Working together you will learn together and experience different teaching styles throughout the course.

 

You will gain industry experience through field trips and an optional volunteering module that enables you to integrate your learning and development from that experience into your degree.

 

This course offers visits to criminal justice organisations, courts and prisons, as well as inviting industry-leading guest speakers to give you a well-rounded and practice-based course that will propel you into your chosen career.
