Criminology is a multidisciplinary subject comprising elements of sociology, law, social and public policy, history, psychology and philosophy. BSc Criminology with Study Abroad is an exciting course that gives you the opportunity to study criminology within a broader framework of policy studies.

The course will provide you with an understanding of crime and related social harms, and an analysis of public policy interventions that contribute towards a safer and harm-free society.

The course follows a similar structure to the three-year BSc in Criminology. In your first and second years you will take a range of mandatory and optional units that introduce you to the interdisciplinary study of criminology.

You will spend your third year year at one of our partner overseas institutions where you can take criminology or broader social sciences, arts and humanities subjects. For example, students have previously studied a unit on Swedish and the Swedes at Linkoping University in Sweden, while others have completed a unit in Mandarin at City University in Hong Kong. For more information about studying overseas see Global Opportunities.

You will return to Bristol for the final year of the course, which is identical to the third year of the BSc Criminology, and will complete a dissertation and further criminology-related units.
