BSc Criminology and Sociology with Quantitative Methods offers exciting opportunities for you to combine the study of the cutting-edge disciplines of criminology and sociology in the vibrant city of Manchester, whilst gaining extensive quantitative skills. Joint Honours students are based in one department, the Department of Sociology, which teaches both specialisms. The BSc Criminology and Sociology with Quantitative Methods course is aimed at students who are interested in both disciplines and want to study the causes, patterns, consequences and responses to crime by situating them in the wider context of society, as well as develop a specialism in quantitative research methods. The first year introduces you to the building blocks of criminology and sociology: key sociological and criminological theories, social divisions and problems, the criminal justice system, crime policy and practice, and key social transformations such as digital culture. You will receive training in a wide range of research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, during the first two years. In the final year, you will focus on quantitative methods for designing, implementing and analysing social and criminological research, and will complete an independent project. Our large, multi-disciplinary department believes in offering extensive optionality to study specific areas of sociology and criminology in depth. Throughout the degree, there is an emphasis on developing skills and experiences that are relevant to professional careers, including work experience, study-abroad schemes, and independent project work. In your final year, you also have the opportunity complete a placement in a relevant organisation. This course has a foundation year available. **Features and Benefits** - Each year offers increasing levels of flexibility with a broad range of option units, so you can choose to focus on areas that interest you. - Get practical knowledge and experience with a range of volunteering and research opportunities in the residential and professional communities of Greater Manchester. - We’re one of only 18 universities in the UK taking part in a £20 million scheme to develop and deliver new programmes that equip graduates with quantitative analysis skills. - You’ll have the chance to work on placement with the likes of the British Red Cross, the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and the Manchester Probation Service. - You will be taught by staff who are experts in their fields and use their research expertise and publications to inform cutting-edge teaching. - You will be part of a vibrant academic community which critically debates live social issues that matter to people in Manchester and beyond - these range widely, from drugs and music, to austerity and Hillsborough. - You will study and learn inside and outside the classroom, for example through visits, field trips, or study exchanges. - The department of Sociology is home to a number of research centres including The Manchester Centre for Youth Studies which has a particular focus on youth justice, Crime and Wellbeing Big Data Centre which explores issues of crime, policing, and health and well-being, and the Policy Evaluation and Research Unit which advises government departments and local delivery organisations including police forces, probation services and more.
