Bachelor of Arts - Criminology at University of Birmingham - Kaplan: Tuition Fee: £19,320.00 GBP / Year (Scholarship Available)

Criminology as a discipline helps us to make sense of crime and related issues of punishment and victimisation. A unique aspect of the University of Birmingham’s Criminology Degree program is the focus given on social harm to the study of crime. This will provide students with the opportunity to think more broadly and critically beyond the confines of ‘crime’ that criminology traditionally offers.

The BA Criminology degree has been carefully constructed to provide students with a unique opportunity to develop their skills in explaining complex social problems in terms of criminological theory and to be able to apply conceptions of human rights in order to evaluate efforts to prevent harm and ensure personal safety. 

By studying a Criminology degree at the University of Birmingham students will be confident in both applying and understanding:

  • the traditional criminological questions from various standpoints. Students will be able to contextualise the causes of crime within their societal context and re-evaluate criminal justice responses on the basis of the harms caused.
  • contemporary debates around harm and crime and be challenged to consider how societies should respond to pressing problems, such as domestic violence, knife crime, or drug related crime, as well as supra national issues like genocide and transnational crime.
  • The development of the criminal justice institutions (police, prisons and courts) in the UK and a comparative context, as well as the inter-relationships between these systems, as mechanisms to respond to crimes and social harms
  • The construction and representation of crimes and social harms, and of responses to these in policy making, mass/socialmedia and public opinion
  • The understanding and appropriate use of research strategies and methods in criminological research
