This programme offers both work placement and volunteering options. Thanks to these opportunities, you can benefit from our connections with criminal justice organisations, international NGOs, charities, and governmental organisations. Fieldwork may include court observations, our crime scene house, and empirical research and case study analysis, which allow you to apply theory to real-life situations.
We also have a comprehensive programme of guest speakers, from detective sergeants and undercover operatives to probation officers and NGO founders. They will all share their insights and experiences with you.
For our Criminology BSc (Hons) course, we have set up a form of community-engaged learning. This is where real world organisations set our students a live brief as part of their assessment to help develop work-based skills. To date, we have worked with local government, charities working on supporting and reintegrating offenders, and campaign organisations.
