Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology and Early Childhood (LL39)

Criminology is the study of crime, its causes and effects, and what people do about it. At Liverpool Hope University, students will study how crime is defined and who defines it, why some people commit offences, and what happens to those who commit crimes if they are caught.

Criminology also studies the impact of the various agencies and organizations that deal with crime: the police, the courts, the probation and prison services, as well as the role of the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office.

Criminology is a well-established degree at Liverpool Hope University and is taught by staff with considerable experience at national and international level. Several key criminological textbooks are written by members of the School. The Criminology team is enthusiastic and dedicated and will help students to get the most out of their degree.

The undergraduate program in Early Childhood Studies provides a higher level of academic study that will extend students' knowledge and understanding of children in their early years.

The Early Childhood team aims to provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment for all students through a high level of tutor support, access to exceptional University resources and engagement with Liverpool Hope University's multidisciplinary teaching team with wide experience in research, practice and policy in the field. Together with the vital ingredient of their commitment as a student, these elements will enrich their learning experience. The university also aims to enhance this where possible through engaging invited speakers and field visits to relevant spaces in Liverpool, a city rich in community connection and cultural experience.
