Criminology BA (Hons) University of Sussex

Program Description

Studying Criminology at Sussex, you’ll apply key approaches to critical contemporary issues. The course has a sociological grounding. You’ll gain theoretical knowledge and learn to understand crime in the context of its culture, as well as the criminal justice system. On graduation, you’ll have the skills needed for a variety of careers. You’re taught by experts who influence theoretical debates and inform policy and practice. They specialise on topics ranging from policing, terrorism, and victims of crime to capital punishment, and crimes against humanity – meaning that you'll focus on the real-world impact of criminology. We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to significant disruption, or in response to COVID-19, we’ll let our students know as soon as possible.
