Course Summary
The Criminology BSc Honours degree at Middlesex University is an engaging and comprehensive programme that explores the causes, consequences, and societal responses to criminal behaviour. With a legacy of excellence dating back to the 1970s, Middlesex has been at the forefront of criminological teaching and research, shaping the discipline in the UK and globally. This course is perfect for those passionate about understanding and addressing crime and its impact on society.
Why Study BSc Criminology at Middlesex?
Middlesex University is ranked 5th in London for overall student positivity (National Student Survey 2023), reflecting our commitment to providing an exceptional learning experience.
We were one of the first universities in the UK to establish criminology as an independent field of study, and our expertise continues to drive innovation in this area. All our lecturers are active researchers whose work directly informs their teaching, providing you with up-to-date insights into real-world challenges.
The course is designed to develop a deep understanding of how society responds to crime and equips you with the analytical, research, and critical thinking skills needed for success in the field. You’ll benefit from a practice-based approach, including field trips, visits to criminal justice organisations, and opportunities to engage with guest speakers and volunteering projects.
What Will You Gain?
At the end of the course, you’ll be able to identify and explore issues related to crime, deviance, and crime control, formulating questions and lines of enquiry to address them. You will critically evaluate criminological theories and concepts, focusing on how social and legal constructions shape crime, deviance, and victimisation.
Throughout your studies, you’ll develop key transferable skills, including literacy, numeracy, digital awareness, and critical analysis, enabling you to communicate effectively in professional settings. Reflecting on your personal values, strengths, and weaknesses, and learning to give and receive constructive feedback, will also form an integral part of your learning experience.
You’ll gain expertise in gathering, analysing, and presenting arguments based on different kinds of data. Additionally, you will develop the ability to recognise social injustices, inequalities, and abuses of power, crafting evidence-based arguments to challenge these issues. The course also provides a strong foundation in conducting criminological research, preparing you for further study or professional roles in the field.
