In your first year, you take the equivalent of eight units. You choose your remaining two units from the wide range of subjects offered by the Faculty of Social Sciences including social anthropology, social psychology, law, politics and cultural studies. In addition, we introduce you to the range of social research methods available and the different ways in which we can gather knowledge about criminal behaviour and the way criminal justice operates. You then have the opportunity to work on projects and dissertations that will allow you to put your new skills into practice. People currently working in criminal justice will teach some seminars and lectures.
Some modules take the form of an extended dissertation.
Both your second and third year marks count towards your final degree result. If you would like to discuss the degree further, contact Dr Emma Wincup on 01227 827320.
