Overview

Criminology at Sussex has a sociological grounding. You will explore crime and deviance from an interdisciplinary perspective. You will also study the wider social and structural issues associated with crime.

Learning to understand crimeâ€¯in the context of its culture, asâ€¯well asâ€¯the criminal justice system, you’ll focus on the real-world impact of criminology. You’ll learn from passionate academics who are active researchers on topics ranging from policing, terrorism, and victims of crime to capital punishment and crimes against humanity.

Careers

Bespoke careers support is built into Sussex Criminology degrees from day one. In addition to dedicated employer talks, our modules feature timetabled sessions that focus on employability, from presentation skills to CV writing.

Throughout the degree, classes showcase how different fields of sociological study build a diverse skill set that will help you stand out in the job market. Careers support on the degree involves input from alumni, key employers and Sussex’s Careers and Entrepreneurship team.
