Course summary

This programme is not available to international students. Instead, international students should apply for our international foundation programmes delivered by our International Study Centre on campus. Our integrated foundation degrees are for those of you who possess the capability to pursue a degree but do not have the pre-requisite qualifications to directly apply to your desired course. The duration of the foundation element is one year, and, if you successfully pass, you will automatically progress on to the degree. Are you passionate about crime prevention? Or perhaps youre keen to learn more about different types of crime – why people commit crime, and the laws surrounding specific criminological concerns. Our Criminology with Law with Foundation Year BSc(Hons) will see you delve into a wealth of topics, from a critical social sciences perspective. Youll study the foundations of criminology in partnership with our Law Department, who will teach you the fundamentals of law.

On the course, youll explore the law relating to criminological concerns, including medical, family, immigration, and human rights laws. Youll also learn about crime prevention, criminal justice and punishment, mentally disordered offenders, and violent and organised crime.

In your third year of study, youll have the opportunity to gain real-world experience through a work placement. Past students have completed placements with the police, youth offending teams, in prisons, restorative justice organisations, CCTV units, as well as in voluntary agencies supporting offenders and victims in the community. You may also have the opportunity to work and study abroad via the Turing Scheme.

On campus, youll be taught by experts from both criminology and law disciplines, who have a wide range of research, practice specialisms and knowledge of the areas youll study. Youll also hear first-hand experiences and viewpoints from guest speakers, such as legal professionals, senior police officers, drug outreach workers, and criminal justice staff theyll give you an insight into key contemporary debates, concerns, and practices, as well as what its like working in positions in the criminal justice or legal practice fields.

Youll also be able to specialise your study on key areas of interest in both criminology and law, including crime prevention and criminal justice to types of crime or offending, such as mentally disordered offenders. You might also focus on key explanations for crimes and criminal offending, and how crimes are defined and constructed. Enhancing your post-university career prospects, this course could prepare you for roles within the criminal justice system and beyond.
