We offer two routes to a Criminology BA (Hons), both of which draw upon a broad range of disciplines such as Criminology, Sociology, Psychology, Law, Social Policy and Philosophy to actively encourage the development of strong analytical, reasoning and reflective skills.
The Crime, Criminology and Criminal Justice route is an exciting mainstream academic programme suitable for anyone who is interested in what drives people to commit crime and how society responds to this behaviour.
The Criminal Justice route is suitable if you already work or volunteer in a criminal justice or allied role and would like to develop your skills and gain a vocationally relevant qualification.
Our flexible progression routes mean that you can build up to a full BA (Hons) in Crime, Criminology and Criminal Justice or the BA (Hons) in Criminal Justice, gaining standalone, recognised qualifications along the way. If you are not ready to commit to a degree, you can start with the Certificate of Higher Education and then either choose to leave with an accredited qualification or keep adding modules to progress step-by-step to the Foundation Degree/Diploma of Higher Education, BA and BA (Hons). You can see how the individual building blocks combine together here. Hover over the title for highlights of each qualification and click on the module names for what you’ll study.

Progression to the BA (Hons) in Criminal Justice
If you already work in a paid or voluntary capacity in the criminal justice system or allied services, or would like to in the future, then our courses will enable you to improve your knowledge and skills and progress your career.
The skills you will develop, through formulating criminological questions and summarising and explaining theory and research findings, are relevant to a wide range of careers in addition to those directly related to criminology, such as local government work and social research.
