Applied Sociology and Criminology BSc (Hons)

Explore the forces that shape society and understand crime in a rapidly changing world while you dive into issues such as media representations of crime; urban and youth violence; forensic mental health; and the power of digital technologies. The course is designed to be both practical and thought-provoking, supporting you to build strong research and data-analysis skills while gaining hands-on experience. As you learn, you develop the knowledge and skills to make a difference in fields such as criminal justice, social policy, victim support and offender rehabilitation, to name just a few paths. The course culminates in an independent dissertation, giving you the chance to explore a topic you’re passionate about. We have robust associations with organisations such as HMP Wells, Luton council, Luton's Women's Aid, Luton Women's Centre, local charities and volunteering organisations. These open up opportunities for volunteering and work placements for our students in the community or in practice.
