Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology (M9M9)
About Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology (M9M9)
Program Description
Students of criminology will explore a fascinating blend of social science, sociology and law, learning from Abertay’s research-active staff to examine the nature of law making and the various influences on how society is ‘policed’. This degree delivers up-to-the-minute knowledge from experts at the leading-edge of their fields. It introduces students to key criminal issues and shapes their understanding of the relationship between crime, society, politics, the media and criminal justice policy.Students should get set to have their understanding of crime, deviance and the criminal justice process challenged and developed. This is achieved through the study of sociological and criminological explanations for crime, and by exploring the ways in which crime is controlled and regulated in modern societies. Later in the programme, students will choose from an array of core and specialist option modules in criminology and sociology. These include modules that explore contemporary criminological theory, race and crime, policing and police work, penal institutions, human rights and cybercrime.
Students will learn through a blend of lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, online discussion forums, video screenings, guest speaker presentations, directed and private study, and student-focussed group work. An optional work placement is available in fourth year, which will require students to attend a relevant work environment outside of the university.
This criminology degree equips students with the skills they need to enjoy a successful and varied career, especially in areas where working with, and managing, people and groups is crucial. Upon graduation, students can pursue a number of career routes in criminal justice professions, including policing, the prison service, social work and probation, and also in areas like community work and teaching.
