What you will study
Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.
A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology with Social Psychology
This course provides a thorough training in the foundations of criminology, exploring the nature of crime, criminals, and criminal justice within wider social and psychological contexts. Social psychological approaches are increasingly crucial in understanding the interpersonal dynamics in crime control organisations, as well as exploring questions of criminal motivation.
Students will explore topics including:
• Crime and its control • Power • Identity
Students also have the opportunity to complete a supervised dissertation on a topic that inspires them, encouraging them to think differently and connect with live issues and debates, and preparing them for their graduate career.
The BA Criminology is run by the Department of Sociology, which was rated top 10 in the UK for research quality (REF 2014).
