Criminology and Sociology BA (Hons)

Our criminology and sociology degree is designed to help you explore these questions and more. At Edge Hill, we take a comprehensive approach to studying sociological developments, placing them within cultural, political, and historical contexts. Through this degree, you'll gain insight into the social structures, institutions, processes, organizations, and groups that shape our lives. You'll examine how societies generate social harms, and why some behaviors are criminalized while others remain legal.

As a criminology and sociology student, you'll have opportunities to participate in educational trips to cities across Europe, including London and Amsterdam, to enhance your experience. With this degree, you'll develop expertise in both fields and acquire transferable skills that will prepare you for a variety of careers. You can build your experience through archival work or engagement in local community activism, and we'll be here to support you every step of the way.
