What you will study
Criminology at the University of Surrey is taught within our interdisciplinary School of Social Sciences, which enables students to learn about related topics, such as sociology and media and communication, during their degree and to shape their course to suit their interests through optional modules.

Our Criminology BSc degree focuses on the study of crime, deviance and the criminal justice system. It will develop your understanding of the concepts, theories and principles of criminology and their application across a range of case studies and examples.

Through combining criminological theory with training in professional social research, you’ll graduate from our degree in Criminology with a broad range of communicative, analytical and organisational skills – and the confidence to apply them in your future career.

You’ll study:

  • The cause and effect of criminal actions
  • The form and outcome of social disorders
  • Policing and regulation of public order
  • Procedures and techniques of the criminal justice system
  • The relationship between behaviours and punishments.

Through combining criminological theory with training in professional social research, you’ll graduate with a broad range of communicative, analytical and organisational skills – and the confidence to apply them in your future career.

Criminology placements
On our four-year BSc (Hons) Criminology course, you’ll enhance your knowledge by taking a Professional Training placement during the third year.

This provides you with an opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills gained during your first two years of study in a work environment, while receiving training and carrying out responsible work.

As a result of the placement, we find that our students return to their final year significantly more confident, mature and organised, and with clearer career aspirations.

The process of preparing and applying for placement positions also significantly enhances job-seeking skills, which come into play in the final year and beyond when applying for graduate employment. After graduation, some students take up permanent posts with their professional placement employer.
