How can we better support young people, victims of crime, and vulnerable individuals affected by harm? Our Criminology with Youth Justice and Victim Support degree explores the causes and consequences of crime, offending, and victimisation while developing the knowledge and practical skills needed to support individuals, families, and communities.
Throughout the course, you will develop a wide range of transferable and professional skills, including communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, safeguarding awareness, ethical decision-making, teamwork, report writing, and analytical skills, through a blend of academic learning and applied, employability-focused experiences. Teaching is delivered through case studies, interactive seminars, scenario-based activities, and practical tasks that reflect professional practice in youth justice, safeguarding, and victim support settings, and you will also study alongside experienced lecturers with backgrounds in policing, safeguarding, investigations, victim support, and criminal justice, gaining insight into current practice and contemporary issues across the sector.
A key strength of the course is its strong focus on employability and professional development. At Level 4, you will complete 50 hours of work-related learning through placements or professional challenges, helping you understand how criminology and safeguarding operate in real-world settings. At Level 5, you will undertake a 90-hour professional placement, either self-sourced or supported through the Careers and Placements team, allowing you to build practical experience, professional confidence, and industry connections. At Level 6, you will have the opportunity to complete an optional work-based project with an employer, applying criminological knowledge and research skills to real-world issues and professional practice.
On this course you will study a selection of modules, which may include: Violence in Society, Safeguarding Vulnerable People, Youth Justice and Crime, Victims, Harm and Justice, Criminology in Practice: Careers and Competencies, Victim Support and Young People, Organised Crime, Controlling Cybercrime, Policing Priorities, Breathing Criminology: Inside Perspectives
