Criminology and Social Policy, BSc (Hons)

This degree in Criminology and Social Policy combines two exciting and rapidly-developing subject areas that each have an enormous influence on all of our lives. You won’t just learn theories-you will apply them to real-world issues: from health inequalities to gendered violence, cybercrime to poverty, family dynamics to victimology. By the end, you’ll have a deep understanding of how societies tackle their toughest social challenges. And you’ll build skills that employers value. Throughout the programme, you’ll sharpen research, analysis, communication, and ethical reasoning-transferable skills that open doors in any career. This degree equips you to think critically, act with integrity, and make a real impact in relation to crime, social policy and beyond.

We require a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 overall (with a minimum of 5.5 in each component) or equivalent English language qualification. Please see the Swansea University admissions English language requirements page for a full list of accepted qualifications and tests.
