BA (Hons) Criminology

University of HullCottingham Road, Hull, HU6 7RX

Course overview

Studying Criminology at Hull means learning at one of the UK’s leading centres in this field. You’ll be taught by expert staff who specialise in contemporary criminology in areas including artificial intelligence and predictive policing, modern-day slavery, knife crime, victimology, state crime, organised crime, cyber-terrorism and intelligence. Our replica crime scene facility on campus means you can get to grips with the links between evidence and criminological theory.

You’ll graduate with the ability to think critically about society's most pressing issues taught with practical experience in mind. That gives you an edge over the competition. You’ll put the theory into practice on field trips to courts, the police control centre and prisons, as well as policing projects and placements.

And expect speakers from the sector, including the youth justice board, victim support, the probation service and citizens advice. Emerging out of our close partnerships, locally, regionally and nationally, you’ll explore social movements pushing for change on topics including prison abolition and drug use.
