BA (Hons) Criminology in Cambridge United Kingdom | Anglia Ruskin University

Examine the root causes of criminal behavior, assess the impact of punitive measures, and analyze media portrayals of crime and victimization.

This process will encourage you to reconsider your preconceptions. You'll hone abilities in analyzing conflicting data, sharpening critical analysis, and constructing well-reasoned arguments by studying methodologies from sociology, psychology, political theory, and legal studies regarding crime and intricate societal issues.

Our BA (Hons) Criminology program emphasizes experiential education. Instruction occurs through real-world scenarios, cutting-edge research, and engaging workshops - with potential visits to judicial settings, correctional facilities, and historical locations like Auschwitz.

At ARU, you'll join a nurturing academic network. During your Criminology degree, you'll receive individualized mentorship and access to exclusive program-related online communities.

Collectively, we'll investigate contemporary criminal phenomena - their origins, societal reactions, and media depictions. This encompasses gender-based violence, white-collar crime, situational offenses, wartime atrocities, institutional corruption, and metropolitan subcultures.

Career preparation begins immediately: developing professional materials, participating in recruitment events, contributing to our yearly Criminology symposium, and learning from influential justice system professionals and leading criminology scholars.

Additionally, our partnerships with regional and national entities, including multiple police departments, provide internship possibilities and inform your capstone research. Volunteer opportunities exist with organizations like Romsey Mill, a community initiative addressing inequality and fostering inclusion for youth and families.
