The BSc (Hons) Applied Criminology at Canterbury Christ Church University offers you a comprehensive exploration into the multifaceted world of crime, deviance, and the criminal justice system. This undergraduate degree is ideal for those seeking to understand the societal, psychological, and legal factors that contribute to criminal behaviour and shape our responses to it. You will engage with critical concepts such as crime, society and the law, criminal justice and accountability, and the very nature of becoming a criminologist, preparing you for a career dedicated to understanding and addressing complex social issues.
You will study this programme full-time on campus over three years, immersing yourself in a curriculum designed to foster both theoretical knowledge and practical application. Through modules spanning violence, vulnerability, global crime, and policing, you will develop analytical skills and a nuanced understanding of justice. Your final year culminates in an Applied Criminology Major Project, allowing you to investigate a topic of personal interest in depth. You will graduate with the critical thinking and research abilities essential for diverse roles within the criminal justice sector, social research, policy development, and beyond.
