Overview

In this BA Criminology (Hons) at the University of Nottingham you'll learn from experienced criminologists who are leaders in their fields. Gain an understanding of areas of crime and justice with insights from sociology, law, social policy, psychology, politics, history, and media studies.

For example, you'll examine the social and legal construction of ‘crime’ and consider its causes, as well as thinking about how societies should respond to harmful behaviours.

With a wide range of optional modules, you can tailor your degree to your interests and career aspirations. You can choose to learn about punishment, victimology, or the crimes and harms of the powerful.

Study abroad in locations such as the Netherlands, Singapore, or the USA to gain a global perspective. Take part in the placements scheme for hands-on experience, putting your knowledge to the test in the real world.

Careers

A degree in criminology can provide a solid foundation for a criminal justice career, for example, in the police, prison or probation service.

Your personal tutor will oversee your academic and personal development, and will offer support with your studies and welfare. There are also regular careers talks and events on enhancing your CV.
