BA (Hons) Criminal Justice with Foundation Year

About your course The BA (Hons) Criminal Justice with Foundation Year programme at Liverpool John Moores University is informed by extensive links with criminal justice system practitioners and delivered by expert academics with frontline experience. If you are interested in the causes and consequences of crime and want to pursue a career in the criminal justice system, this course offers a practical and vocational route to working in spheres such as policing, probation, prisons, youth justice or drugs and alcohol. The fascinating field of deviance, delinquency and criminality is ideal for anyone who wants to get to the root of why people commit crime and how society deals with them. Your studies will critically consider key contemporary criminal justice issues within modern British society. There will be opportunity to develop your knowledge of the criminal justice system with our strong links with courts, prisons and a variety of criminal justice agencies - such as Prison Service, Probation Service, Court System, Substance Abuses, Homelessness and other vulnerable populations by taking part in networking and events, and being encouraged to do voluntary work. Foundation Year The Foundation Year is ideal if you have the interest and ability to study for a degree, but do not have the qualifications to enter directly onto the Criminal Justice honours degree programme yet. Once you pass the Foundation Year (level 3) you will progress directly onto the first year of the honours degree. If you are a full-time UK student, you will qualify for student financial support for the full duration of your course (subject to eligibility criteria).
