Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Art History and Hispanic Studies] From University of Kent

Crime happens in social contexts which Sociology helps us to understand. Through real world examples you will explore societal responses to crime and look at the importance of crimeÕs impact on society. You will examine your own attitudes towards crime, criminals and victims, as well as different social groups, cultures and social institutions.

You will be studying at one of the countryÕs most prestigious centres for Criminology, where our School of Social Sciences pioneered this popular area of study more than 30 years ago. The range of modules and the diverse backgrounds of our teaching staff reflect the valuable multidisciplinary approach taken to both Criminology and Sociology at Hull. Our strong links with local criminal justice and social service agencies and charities provide fantastic opportunities for placements and other work experience. If you don't have the academic qualifications to enter the programme directly, we also offer a foundation year to prepare you for degree -level study.

Demand for Criminology graduates has increased significantly in recent years and our degree equips you with the knowledge and skills that are invaluable for a career in the field of crime and criminal justice. Common career paths for Criminology graduates include the police, prison and probation services, the legal professions and academic or Civil Service research.

We hold an annual Criminal Justice careers event to introduce you to criminal justice and related organisations, helping you make vital career connections.

Once you have started studying at Hull, we are here to guide you at any point of your studies or subsequent career. This is one of the factors that distinguishes us from other universities and the reason our Careers Service was one of the first to be accredited against the new matrix standards. Matrix is the UK mark for advice, information and guidance services.

There's a range of services to assist you in development of skills looked for by employers, including skills workshops, practice interviews and practice ability tests. We offer one-to-one advice and guidance Ð and you will have a named careers adviser for your subject.
