Probe public perceptions, unpack theories and prepare to fight injustice with a degree designed to go beyond what you might expect from a criminology course.

Challenging current systems and viewing the world through a critical lens are at the heart of this course. You’ll learn from researchers looking at policing, youth justice, radicalisation, and more. This expertise fuels our teaching and means we can offer a diverse range of optional modules.

You might have already studied criminology and want to take your knowledge up a notch. Perhaps you work in criminal justice and want to extend your skills. Even if you’ve never studied the subject before, this course is perfect for people curious about crime and uncovering creative solutions to making the world safer.

With employability at the heart of the course, it draws on well-established links with organisations including Thames Valley Police, the Probation Service, victim support and young offenders charities. Thanks to our connections, you’ll be able to forge links for future opportunities with these organisations.
