Thanks to this involvement we can offer teaching and course content that is up-to-date and of a very high standard. The criminology and psychology staff group bring with them a breadth and depth of knowledge and skills, some from professional practice, from across the criminal justice and psychological sectors (including the police, prison service, probation, youth organisations, mental health settings and charity sectors), others from academic and research backgrounds. This enables us to provide high-quality learning of the core aspects of both disciplines, and also a range of specialist topics and areas of study. **Applied learning - Work placements** To maximise your career prospects in this area, you will have various opportunities for work-related learning during the course. Employability and placement opportunities are embedded across all three years of the degree course. These include student placement modules and activities with criminal justice/third sector agencies, project work with external agencies, simulation modules, and voluntary work through our employability fair. You will also have access to degree-specific careers advice and support. **International opportunities** You will have the opportunity to study abroad for the second semester of your second year, at institutions in Australia, USA or Canada. **Networking opportunities** This course benefits from its links with the Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice, which ensures that teaching focuses directly and indirectly on ethical and social justice issues related to the social exclusion/inclusion of a range of vulnerable groups, and on promoting social access to all available community resources. You are provided with career-related support from department specialists who help with access to graduate opportunities. Our teaching is developed to supply a 'real world' curriculum and is designed to embed key transferable skills that will help students with their search for future graduate employment or further study opportunities. In order to deliver this we work in partnership with employers and other key stakeholders to impact on important issues in the local area which enhances opportunities for student success by offering them the opportunity to work with prospective employers whilst applying their knowledge to the local community in order to positively impact a range of agencies and individuals. This can include opportunities aimed at young people, prison-related organisations, community justice organisations, substance misuse services, women's services, victim services, etc.
