Criminology with Gaelic Studies

This flexible and student-focused degree gives you the opportunity to combine two complementary subjects: criminology and Gaelic studies. You will explore a wide range of topics, from the changing nature of crime and its social, political and historical contexts, to the history, development and present state of Gaelic language and culture. The course highlights the value of both empirical research and theoretical approaches, which are central to humanities and social science disciplines.

In your first and second years, you will follow a broad and balanced introduction to both criminology and Gaelic studies. In years three and four, you will study more focused topics based on current issues and the research specialisms of teaching staff. Each year, you will continue to develop your analytical, research and digital skills, supporting your personal and professional growth.

The course also gives you the chance to study other humanities subjects such as philosophy, history, literature, archaeology and politics. Whether you are a complete beginner or already have experience with Gaelic, you will be supported throughout your language learning.

Taught by experienced and research-active staff, this course also offers opportunities to attend and present at an annual staff/student social sciences conference. You will graduate with a strong and adaptable skillset, suited to a wide range of careers or further study. Full-time and part-time options are available, helping you to fit your studies around your personal circumstances.

Please note this course is delivered entirely online and available to study from anywhere in the world. Applicants outwith Scotland including International, should apply to the UHI Perth study location.
