The (Hons) Criminology and Sociology with Quantitative Methods from Manchester Metropolitan University 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 students 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. Students will receive training in a wide range of research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, during the first two years. In the final year they will focus on quantitative methods for designing, implementing and analysing social and criminological research and complete an independent project.
Our large, multi-disciplinary department believes in offering students 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 the final year BSc student can complete a placement in a relevant organisation. If students wish, they can study a foreign language as part of their degree.
Opportunities may exist in the established agencies of the criminal justice system (for example, the police, prisons and probation services or in the private sector companies that have undertaken the provision of criminal justice services).
There is also the potential to work in areas such as probation work, housing, family care and other roles in social services.
Other graduates have gone into administrative and managerial jobs in local or national government, or working for the voluntary sector.
