The BSc Criminology and Criminal Justice is a research-led programme taught by internationally recognised academics whose research contributes to, and challenges, traditional crime and criminal justice studies. Led by principles of social and racial justice, the programme focuses on contemporary social problems, from prison abolition, migration and deportation and social welfare, to gendered violence, terrorism and drugs. Our students learn about real-world events through focus on national and international criminal justice policy, institutions and practices. They also think about the people who make, and those who are subjected to, these systems and processes. Topics are theoretically informed, drawing on political economy, feminist, critical race and queer theory. The programme provides a solid grounding in key criminology topics, methods and theories. Themes range from punishment, policing, security and surveillance to organised, corporate and state crime. Our students have access to a wide range of module options as they progress through the programme, including courses in the Department of Law. **Highlights** - We are among the top 10 law schools in the UK and in the top three in London in the Times Higher Education latest Research Excellence Framework (REF) rankings, while our research environment was judged conducive to producing research of the highest quality. - Dedicated academic skills workshops are run by our Learning Development Tutors, who can advise on a range of study skills. - We understand that our students want to make a change through higher education. You can participate in our year-round Criminology Careers Events: Work for Criminal Justice, Work for Social Justice. You can achieve support from Birkbeck alumni through our Mentoring Pathways scheme. - You can hear from scholars within and beyond Birkbeck including the esteemed Annual Criminology Lecture, Law on Trial events week and our Criminology Research Seminars.
