• The students have a supportive community of staff and students at ARU. Throughout the BA (Hons) Criminology and Sociology degree, they will benefit from one-to-one personal tutoring and dedicated Criminology social media groups.
  • Through real-life case studies, academic research, and interactive learning sessions, they will develop their research and critical thinking skills. they could learn outside of the lecture theatre too, with visits to courts and prisons, where they will examine the trial process and methods of rehabilitation, punishment, and retribution (historical and modern), deviance, race, and gender. They will have the chance to travel abroad on one of our international field trips and examine crime and crime control in different geographical and cultural contexts. Or you might choose to study abroad for a semester to gain a more in-depth perspective on alternative criminal justice systems and societies.
  • They will prepare for your future career from the first semester: building a portfolio and CV, attending volunteer and employment fairs, taking part in our annual Criminology conference, and hearing from key figures in criminal justice debates and the authors of important criminology texts.
  • Once they have graduated, they can continue to develop their skills with one of our Masters degrees.
