Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Criminology

The Cardiff Met BSc (Hons) Criminology degree combines both theoretical and empirical study into a modern programme that will challenge the way students look at the study of crime.

In addition to learning about the underpinning philosophies and theories that explore crime as an academic field of study, BSc (Hons) Criminology students will explore the evidence base for these theories and philosophies, and potentially contribute towards our developing understanding in a range of cutting-edge topics.

Studying Criminology at Cardiff Met, students will focus on three key strands that are woven throughout the degree which include Criminology Theories, the fundamentals of the Criminal Justice System and Emerging Disciplines in contemporary Criminology.
