BSc (Hons) in Criminology with Placement (L313) in Uxbridge United Kingdom | Brunel University of London

Criminology is a dynamic field that continuously adapts to shifting social and political landscapes. You'll gain access to resources that help you explore how legal systems can disproportionately target certain groups while overlooking offenses committed by the privileged.
At Brunel, our criminology program features faculty actively involved in cutting-edge research, enhancing the comprehensive learning materials available to you.
Brunel's criminology department prioritizes evidence-based theory, fostering your ability to critically assess ideas about crime and deviance. This analytical approach stimulates vibrant discussions, empowering you to form independent viewpoints using diverse theoretical frameworks and research methods, while examining patterns of criminalization and victimization across different contexts.
As aspiring critical criminologists, you'll participate in contemporary discussions about race, gender, migration, environmental crime, and other pressing issues. You'll also develop essential research skills in both quantitative and qualitative methods to effectively contribute to evolving debates.
