Overview

The Criminology and Sociology (Hons) programme from Manchester Metropolitan University is aimed at students who are interested in both disciplines and want to study crime and its causes, patterns, consequences, and responses by situating them in the wider context of society.

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 during the first two years, to become equipped to undertake their own independent research project in the final

year.

Career

Our BSc (Hons) Criminology and Sociology graduates work in a wide range of fields which include teaching, policing, probation, housing, local or national government, research, and marketing. There is also the potential to work in areas such as youth justice, housing, family care and other roles in social services. Other graduates have gone into administrative and managerial jobs in local or national government, or have secured roles within the voluntary sector.
