Why study Sociology and Criminology? If you’re interested in society and personal identity, and you want to explore what makes people commit crimes, and how crime may be prevented, this course is a highly rewarding and fascinating combination of sociology and criminology. There’s an equal weighting to both disciplines, and the course is designed to help you prepare for a future career in sectors such as the civil and public services, charities and others. How will you learn? On the course you’ll be taught by experts from both the sociology and criminology disciplines. You’ll learn from sociology tutors who specialise in areas such as gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, the body, nationalism and identity. Within the criminology aspect of the course, you’ll look at the causes of crime, disorder and theories about how to reduce crime. You’ll benefit from tutors who have a range of research specialisms, and have professional experience working with offenders, victims and crime-prevention agencies, giving you unique insights into real-life experiences. * On both the sociology and criminology aspects of the course, you will be able to choose topics and develop your understanding in areas that interest you. * You’ll have the opportunity to go on a compulsory work experience in your second year, giving you the chance to put what you’ve learnt into practice, you could also make some useful contacts in the industry too.
