Course Overview
Pursue your ambitions in social sciences with the BSc (Hons) Criminology with Forensics at Plymouth Marjon University. Based in Plymouth, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 3-year full-time structure. Crime is everywhere – in the news, at the cinema, on our TV screens, and in the books we read. This course offers you the opportunity to look behind the headlines to explore the complexity of a subject which fascinates and worries us in equal measure. You will study crime from a variety of perspectives ranging from seemingly simple questions such as ‘what is crime?’ to considering the impact of the media on our understanding of crime and the way we deal with crimes such as youth violence and domestic abuse. Home/uk fees are £9,790 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with a median graduate salary of £16,500 within three years, and a 85% continuation rate.
