This exciting course focuses upon key elements involved in the Criminal Justice System – Criminology, Policing and Forensic Investigation. The interdisciplinary field of criminology explores topics such as the study of offenders, victims and the motivations for crime.

You will have the opportunity to study policing modules that explore the powers of the police, how crimes are investigated, the role of police in society and contemporary issues that are associated with the role and actions of law enforcement agencies. The scientific investigation of crime explores the role of science in the investigative process, its accomplishments, complexities and issues affecting justice.

This degree embeds academic, professional and transferrable skills that will equip you for your future career with dedicated support and opportunities to gain valuable work experience in the wider criminal justice field.  

The course utilises both theoretical and practical methods to provide authentic learning experiences such as the investigation of crime scenes, police interviewing and giving evidence in Court.  

These key elements provide a valuable and insightful overview of the workings of the justice system and assist in preparing you for the future as well as providing global perspectives and networking opportunities to enable you to experience criminal justice across the globe. 

Get a head start in your sound engineering career with this multifaceted course, which combines vocational study and academic theory.

The foundation year course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to continue onto your Honours degree. You will study a range of subjects that will underpin your future study and also gain valuable experience of university life, with full access to campus facilities.
