Careers

We work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – and our bespoke BA (Hons) Criminology degree will allow you to choose a criminal justice-related area to work towards.

Many of our previous students have chosen careers in the probation service; the prison service (officers and governers); the police (crime scene and victim liaison officers); the Home Office (researchers and policy analysts); the Crown Prosecution Service; the Court Service; Youth Offending Teams; and Crime Reduction Partnerships.

But the multidisciplinary nature of the course, with its focus on employability and transferable skills, will ensure you can also keep your options open, if you later decide you want a change of focus.

You might also decide to continue on to a postgraduate degree, such as our MA Criminology, MA Contemporary Policing or MA International Relations.
