Sociology And Criminology BA Honours in University of Westminster, London, UK

Sociology And Criminology BA Honours in University of Westminster, London

Immigration, crime, social injustice and youth unemployment make headline news almost daily. These are the key issues of our time. If you’re interested in such issues, and want to understand how societal structures impact on people's everyday lives and interactions, or how criminal justice relates to social justice, then you should consider studying sociology and criminology. Combined, these two disciplines develop your sociological and criminological imagination and answer questions about society and its various institutions.

You’ll be taught by active researchers, whose expertise includes human rights, migration, comparative and transnational criminology, convict criminology, youth justice, terrorism studies, psychology of crime, education, gender and sexuality, ‘race’ and ethnicity, social movements, families, media and cultural studies. As a student on the Sociology and Criminology BA, you’ll have access to a wide range of specialist option modules in both disciplines, and you’ll have the opportunity to take a work experience module where you can put into practice the personal and professional skills you will develop while studying.

This combined degree enables you sufficiently specialise in criminology to enter professions connected to the criminal justice system, but also benefit from the broader careers available to sociologists. You will also gain the transferable skills necessary for lifelong personal and professional development. Our students go on to careers in the police and police-supporting organisations, crime prevention, the probation service, the charity and non-governmental organisations sector, local and central government, teaching, social work, youth work, and many more.

This programme offers a unique curriculum which cannot be studied at any other UK university. A distinctive feature of the course is our use of London as a learning and teaching resource, with several modules offering field trips around the city such as museum visits and themed street walks. As a Sociology and Criminology BA student at Westminster, you’ll be part of a diverse and international student culture, and you can also gain valuable experience studying abroad for a semester.

Teaching and learning methods include lectures, seminars, practical classes and workshops, online discussions, individual and group tutorials, and field trips. We make use of a wide range of assessment methods to suit different learning styles, from essays and exams to portfolios, research reports, policy analyses, group presentations, and your final year dissertation.
