Program Description

The course has been designed by experienced teaching staff, qualified educationalists, former criminal justice practitioners, active researchers and experts in areas such as race, gender, media, sexuality and class. Student support is one of our top priorities and you’ll be joining a lively, welcoming and friendly community. Opportunities that come with this course include the following:

• Choice of optional modules allowing you to tailor your degree to suit your interests in Sociology and Criminology.
• We will encourage you to challenge some of the typical preconceptions about the nature of crime and disorder; about who commits crime, the harm it entails and how it is punished. In doing so, you should develop strong analytical abilities, enabling you to cast a perceptive and critical eye on the world and convey your ideas and views effectively.
• You will develop an appreciation and understanding of areas like social policy through a range of events and conferences, with academics, practitioners and policy makers. (Subject to availability, additional costs may apply). in the past, students have attended the British Sociological Association Annual Conference and the Coventry University ‘Sociology Speaking Seminar Series’ and engaged in debate about issues, policy and laws concerning areas such as social justice, media, immigration and current political affairs.
• You may also have the opportunity to participate in exciting field trips. Students have previously visited Berlin to explore Post War Germany Memorialisation, Sicily to examine Anti-Mafia Organisations, and Gothenburg to research migration, urban development, music and food culture.

Our courses have been designed to provide practical work experience and to give you an opportunity to develop a range of skills and competencies that will help to make you attractive to potential employers.
