Criminology

Studying Criminology will help students interested in Law, Sociology, Psychology and, of course, Criminology.

What will I study?

Using their understanding of the roles of those who work within a criminal investigation and the retrieval of evidence from a crime scene, learners are required to work with representatives from the police and scientific support to understand whether the process of the criminal investigation has been carried out properly.

How will I be assessed?

The WJEC Level 3 Applied Diploma in Criminology is assessed using a combination of internal and external assessment. Two units are coursework and two are examined.

Where might it lead?

The course is ideal for students wishing to study criminology, law, politics, social policy or sociology at university. It is also relevant for students interested in any role within the criminal justice system, such as in the police force, prison officer, probation officer or crime scene investigator.
