The BSc Criminology and Sociology degree bring together core and advanced modules in sociology and criminology to give the students a unique ability to understand why the societies we live in are so often characterized by discrimination, conflict, and disorder. Through studying social and criminological theory and methods they will learn to explain how society responds to different forms of crime and deviance. The course will teach them to analyze the social world, its composition and the forces that change it, and to apply these skills to understanding the most pressing current social issues relating to key topical areas such as gender, sexuality, race and racism, social class and inequality.
