This joint course gives you the opportunity to explore the complexities of the world we live in through in-depth study of concepts, themes and perspectives relating to Sociology and Criminology/Criminal Justice. You will investigate social life, society and social intuitions, and examine theories and evidence relating to crime, offending behaviour, victimisation, social control, punishment and crime prevention. By understanding the social world, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our own social situations.
Sociology investigates social life and the way it shapes people’s behaviour, beliefs and identity. Its subject matter ranges from an examination of the face-to-face interactions of daily life, to large-scale social institutions, social movements and global processes. By understanding the social world, we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our own social situations. Sociology may also be studied through the medium of Welsh in the course BA Cymdeithaseg gyda Pholisi Cymdeithasol. Criminology examines theories and evidence relating to crime, criminals and victims, while Criminal Justice studies explore the various responses to crime, and victims, from informal to formal legislative measures of social control and crime prevention, and examine the way in which the criminal justice system works - from policing through to imprisonment.
By combining both areas of academic study students are informed of the key challenges in understanding and controlling criminal behaviour and will be able to locate these matters in the wider perspective of the study of society, and also to better understand the workings of society through the prism of looking at criminology and criminal justice in particular.
‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.
If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Sociology (with Foundation Year) L30F.
