BA (hons) Criminology in Manchester Metropolitan University

Overview

BA Criminology offers an exciting opportunity to study the cutting-edge discipline of criminology in the vibrant city of Manchester. It is aimed at students who want to study crime from a critical perspective to investigate the causes, patterns, consequences and responses to crime in a social context.

The first year introduces you to the building blocks of criminology: key concepts and theories explaining crime, key institutions of the criminal justice system, crime policy, law and practice. You will receive training in a wide range of research methods during the first two years, to become equipped to undertake your own independent research project in the final year.

Our large, multi-disciplinary department believes in offering an extensive optionality to study specific areas of criminology in depth. Throughout the degree, there is an emphasis on developing skills and experiences that are relevant to professional careers, including work experience, study-abroad schemes, and independent project work. If you wish, you can also study a foreign language as part of your degree and in the final year, you have the option of moving onto the BSc route, which means receiving extensive quantitative methods training and graduating with a BSc title.

Features and Benefits

• Increasing levels of flexibility throughout the course with a broad range of option units, so you can choose to focus on areas that interest you.
• Get practical knowledge and experience with a range of volunteering and research opportunities in the residential and professional communities of Greater Manchester.
• We’re one of only 18 universities in the UK taking part in a £20 million programme to develop and deliver new programmes that equip graduates with the quantitative analysis skills that can improve their career prospects.

Career prospects

Opportunities may exist in the established agencies of the criminal justice system (for example, the police, prisons and probation services or in the private sector companies that have undertaken the provision of criminal justice services). There is also the potential to work in areas such as probation work, housing, family care and other roles in social services. Other graduates have gone into administrative and managerial jobs in local or national government, or have roles within the voluntary sector.
