Our BA (Hons) Criminology and Policing will allow you to balance an exploration of complex criminological perspectives with the practical application of policing skills and knowledge.
By considering the relationship between society and the criminal justice system, and simulating real-life activities such as investigating crime scenes, you’ll develop skills that will help you succeed professionally in the police service, or in a policy-related / criminal justice agency environment.
You’ll also develop skills in critical analysis and research methodologies, helping you become an independent learner with the ability to manage your own projects and research.
As well as completing core modules in criminology and policing, our optional modules will give you the chance to develop specialisms in areas such as leadership and management, public policy, and issues concerning social and political inequality.
On some modules, a significant part of your teaching will be delivered by policing and criminal justice practitioners – for example, ‚Basic Criminalistics’ will be delivered by former and active Crime Scene Investigators.
Through our relationship with regional police forces and practitioners, you’ll also have opportunities to engage with professionals from the criminal justice sector through guest lectures (including those organised by our Policing Institute for the Eastern Region), workshop events, study trips and research projects. You may also have opportunities to work closely with local police forces, for example a student recently carried out research on police officer demographics and recruitment, sponsored by Cambridgeshire Constabulary.
Throughout the course, you’ll be supported by our expert staff members through timetabled group meetings, individual meetings and one-to-one personal tutoring. You’ll also have access to the University’s student support groups and dedicated ARU Criminology groups on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Careers
We work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – and they offer hands-on, practical opportunities to learn through work-based projects, internships or placements.
Our BA (Hons) Criminology and Policing will help you develop the skills and knowledge necessary for careers in many areas connected to the criminal justice system, including the police force, probation, prisons and youth justice. You will also be well equipped for work in the Border Force; the military; security; local government; and work in the public sector generally. If you are already working within the sector, it will allow you to progress your career to graduate level.
Our optional modules also give you the chance to study a language, allowing you to prepare for work in an international context.
You might also choose to continue your studies on a postgraduate course, such as our MA Contemporary Policing, MA Sociology, MA Criminology, or MA International Relations.
