About Criminology Bsc(hons) in University of Huddersfield

Crime is a feature of social life in every community and society throughout the world. As the behaviours that are regarded as crime, and the types of criminal behaviour committed constantly change, the need for criminal justice related agencies and governments to understand crime and how to reduce it continues to rise. This course will help you gain the skills and knowledge you need for a future career working with offenders, victims, criminal and social justice organisations or advising organisations on the steps they can take to reduce crime.

You’ll study a wide spectrum of criminal behaviour, from petty theft through to state-sponsored terrorism. And you’ll be encouraged to investigate ways to reduce the crime rate, and assess the effect of organisations within the criminal justice system, such as the police and the Crown Prosecution Service.

• This course uses a range of teaching methods to engage and inspire you. You’ll have the chance to hear from guest speakers such as police officers, drug outreach workers or criminal justice staff.
• You’ll take part in debates about the latest issues, such as why people commit crime, how to stop crime, and how to prevent people being victimised. You’ll also have the opportunity to investigate some fascinating topics such as sexual offending, cyber and environmental crime.
• You’ll be taught by tutors who have a wide range of research specialisms and knowledge of the issues involved in criminology today. They’ll engage you in debates, and give you a good picture of what it’s like in the real world.
• Many tutors have worked in the criminal justice system or the voluntary sector, and they’ll use their expertise to give you practical examples of the work you could end up doing.
• In your second year you’ll complete a compulsory work placement. Previous students have worked with youth offending teams, in prisons, police stations and courts as well as in voluntary agencies supporting offenders and victims in the community.
• You could also study abroad for a term in your second year.
