Overview
Criminology and Sociology is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Sociology is reading led, with methods training in the middle years and a dissertation at the end.
If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
