Criminology (with Foundation Year)

About this course

Criminology is the academic discipline that asks why crime occurs, how societies define and respond to it, and what the consequences of criminal justice policies are for individuals and communities. It draws on sociology, psychology, law, and philosophy to examine the full range of questions that crime and punishment raise, from the structural conditions that produce criminal behaviour to the experiences of victims, the workings of police, courts, and prisons, and the debates about what justice actually means. At the University of Bedfordshire, the BA Criminology with Foundation Year is a four-year full-time programme that has been recognised in national rankings for teaching quality and student experience. The foundation year provides the academic preparation that students need before engaging fully with the main degree, making the programme accessible to a wider range of backgrounds.
