Bachelor in Criminology With Forensic Science Ba Hons

Tuition costs 24,433 USD per year.

Understanding the mechanisms of crime—both the social triggers of offending and the empirical evaluation of evidence—requires a dual approach that bridges the gap between sociological theory and forensic practice. This programme is designed for those who wish to move beyond abstract debate, equipping students with the technical ability to process crime scenes while interrogating the broader ethical and practical implications of the criminal justice system.

As part of a department with over 50 years of heritage in the field, students benefit from a curriculum that is deeply rooted in contemporary justice issues. What distinguishes this degree is the integration of hands-on technical training within a dedicated on-campus replica crime scene facility, allowing students to move from theoretical concepts of modern-day slavery or cybercrime to the practical application of forensic evidence collection.

Applied Professional Development

The course is built around real-world readiness, fostering strong links with local, regional, and national justice agencies. Students are provided with unique pathways to professional experience, including:

• Opportunities for semester-long placements with Humberside Police.
• Field trips to active courts, prisons, and police stations to observe the justice system in motion.
• Networking access to major employers at the annual Careers in Criminal Justice Fair.

By blending academic rigour with professional insight, the programme prepares graduates not just to study crime, but to actively participate in the institutions that manage and mitigate it.
