Course summary

The Certificate in Higher Education (Cert HE) in Criminology and Criminal Justice is a new type of qualification available to students wishing to start a Higher Education Criminology and Criminal Justice qualification. The course is validated by Lancaster University.

You will be able to complete this qualification in just one year of full-time study which makes it ideal if you are looking to start a new career sooner. If, at the end of the year of full-time study, you wish to continue your Higher Education journey with us, you will be able to join the second year of our Foundation Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. This will enable you to achieve a Foundation Degree in two years of full-time study.

This is a new, flexible type of qualification for students who may not be able to commit to three years of full-time academic study.

Do you want to develop your criminological knowledge? On this course you will further your ability to interpret and apply principles of human rights and social justice. It will equip you with the essential skills and attributes for a career as an ethical, professional practitioner in the justice sector.

This course should appeal to you if you need to fit studying around other commitments or if you are looking to take your first step into Higher Education after a gap of study.
