Studying Criminology as 75% of your degree gives you an in-depth understanding the complex social, political and cultural issues that shape crime and criminal justice today. Our programmes are research-led and designed to develop critical and creative thinking, preparing you for a range of careers or further study. You’ll build a solid conceptual foundation through core modules exploring the history of crime and punishment, criminological theory, and criminal justice institutions. You can then tailor your degree through optional modules that reflect our department’s diverse research expertise, covering topics such as sentencing, institutional deaths, cyber crime, gender-based violence, and corporate crime.
Our Minor in German (25% of your degree) enables you to attain a proficient level by progressing through structured and immersive language training. You will take German language from beginners or advanced level, developing advanced skills in writing, reading, speaking and listening, as well as an awareness of regional linguistic variations and the societies and cultures of German-speaking countries. An optional Year Abroad is spent in a German-speaking country as a student at a university, an assistant in a school, or on a work placement. If you combine German with another language, you will split the year between two countries.
This programme is available with either a Year in China or a Year Abroad. The Year in China offers undergraduate students the opportunity to spend one year at our joint venture, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU). You can choose either the China Studies Track, where you will take courses from the China Studies Degree, the Creative Track, or the Entrepreneurship Track . XJTLU is a fully English-speaking university, located in Suzhou. The Year Abroad offers students the opportunity to spend a full academic year studying at one of our partner universities around the world, following a mixture of culture and/or discipline-related modules. If you wish to study this programme with a Year in China or a Year Abroad you will have the opportunity to apply after you arrive at Liverpool.
Most Combined Degrees allow you to adapt the weighting of each by 25% after the first year, helping you to keep your options open. Please note, however, students studying either a Business or Economics pathway in combination with another subject cannot increase from 25% to 50% or from 50% to 75% and it is not possible to transfer from a 50% to 75% Law.
