Criminology Foundation Degree
Our Criminology course explores the criminal justice system and crime from a critical perspective and with a focus on social justice. It holds a primary focus on research and debated explanations for crime, victimisation and deviance, and responses to those crimes, by societies and individuals.
The inter-disciplinary nature of the subject is mirrored in the structure of the Criminology course. The core focus on criminological learning is complemented by modules in Psychology, Law and Sociology, prompting shared learning with students from other disciplines.
This is an active and lively course that moves away from traditional teaching of the social sciences to embrace the contemporary and innovative topics and practices of 21st century criminal justice. The work-placement element ensures that you are prepared for the world of work.
The course is delivered at Matthew Boulton College. This course combines the academic elements of Criminology with development and application of vocational skills essential to forge a career within the industry sector.

Course Content
Courses at BMet are informed by research and current developments in the discipline and by feedback from students, external examiners and employers.

The most up-to-date information will be available to you once you have accepted a place and registered for the course. If there are insufficient numbers of students interested in an optional module, this might not be offered, but we will advise you as soon as possible and help you choose an alternative.
