Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Sociology and Criminology (LM39)

Immigration, crime, social injustice and youth unemployment make headline news almost daily. These are the key issues of the time. If students are interested in such issues, and want to understand how societal structures impact on people's everyday lives and interactions, or how criminal justice relates to social justice, then they should consider studying sociology and criminology. Combined, these two disciplines develop sociological and criminological imagination and answer questions about society and its various institutions. Students will be taught by active researchers, whose expertise includes human rights, migration, comparative and transnational criminology, convict criminology, youth justice, terrorism studies, psychology of crime, education, gender and sexuality, 'race' and ethnicity, social movements, families, media and cultural studies. They will have access to a wide range of specialist option modules in both disciplines, and students will have the opportunity to take a work experience module where they can put into practice the personal and professional skills they have developed while studying.
