The BA (Hons) History and Criminology covers a range of approaches, from thematic modules that cover a variety of places and historical periods, to concentrated and in-depth studies of the changing nature of crime and the social, political, historical and individual forces behind these changes.
Each year, you will build on your analytical and research abilities through a series of skills modules in both History and Criminology.
You can also choose to specialise in Scottish History at the upper levels and graduate with a BA (Hons) Scottish History and Criminology degree.
