Criminology

This exciting criminology course includes elements of psychology, law and sociology that complements studies in humanities. Criminology allows you to investigate a wide range of interesting theory which will improve your ability to analyse key facts. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the internal and external forces that shapes our lives and determine our life chances. As part of your studies you’ll assess the merits of competing theories and explanations across the two year course.
