Description:

Criminology studies crime from multiple perspectives to understand its impact on individuals and society. Drawing on a range of disciplines including sociology, law, psychology and philosophy, you will explore the theories, policies, processes and relationships that influence attitudes, beliefs and behaviour. You will also develop a range of skills that enhance your employability, such as critical thinking and data interpretation, how to evaluate evidence and write reports, presenting reasoned arguments and making ethical judgements.

BA(Hons) Criminology at UWE Bristol gives you an in-depth understanding of crime and criminal justice and allows you to apply theories, knowledge and research to live, contemporary issues. Supported by inspirational staff who are leading practitioners and active researchers, our course provides the opportunity to explore criminology from a multi-disciplinary, social science angle that addresses the victims, offenders, the criminal justice system and cultural forces. Graduates are valued by employers for their research and IT skills, their literacy and numeracy, and their incisive understanding of individuals, social institutions and processes.
