Using real-world examples, you’ll discover the most recent advancements in areas such as crime trends, restorative justice, policing and punishment.
Explore patterns in crime, punishment and policing, and learn how to think, analyse and research as a criminologist.
Over 35 years, criminology at Sheffield has built a reputation for excellence in teaching and research in this multidisciplinary field.
Drawing on real-world examples, we begin with modules that give you a critical introduction to crime and criminology. You’ll then learn how to become a criminological researcher, developing critical thinking, academic writing and library research skills.
You’ll have so much choice when it comes to modules, choosing from subjects such as justice, prison, drugs, and youth criminality; assessing the influence of gender and race on crime and punishment.
In your third year, you will have the option to complete a year abroad at one of our many partner universities. You’ll be able to tailor your degree through optional modules to suit your interests and also access relevant module choices from the School of Sociological Studies, Politics and International Relations.
You’ll graduate with theoretical understanding and practical skills – including the use of a range of qualitative research methods and quantitative data analysis software – supporting your next step into any of a diverse range of careers that call for critical analysis and problem-solving.
