This degree will focus on developing you as a professional, equipping you with the skills and qualities you need for a career in the field of criminology.

Careers

Studying criminology opens the door to working in many different areas that shape society. You could secure work in the prison and probation services, the police, Home Office or Ministry of Justice.

Equally, many criminology graduates work in the charity sector or for campaigning organisations focusing on advocacy or criminal justice reform. As a social scientist, your ability to dissect, analyse and research crime, its causes and its potential solutions, will be highly valuable to employers.
