BSc (Hons) Criminology (including foundation year)

This four-year degree course is designed for students who may not meet the standard entry requirements for a direct-entry undergraduate programme. The intensive foundation year (Year 0) provides a supportive environment to develop core academic, research, and communication skills, helping you build the confidence needed for success in higher education. You will explore big ideas from the social sciences alongside students from various degree pathways, benefiting from small, discussion-led classes and expert academic support. Upon successful completion of this year, you will progress into the three-year Criminology BSc, graduating with the same degree title and award as direct-entry students. The course is ideal for those returning to study, changing career direction, or seeking a structured transition into university life. You will be taught by practitioners from the criminal justice sector, ensuring your learning is grounded in real-world practice. The institution offers comprehensive wellbeing, study, and career support from your first day to help you reach your full potential.
