This online learning course is designed for students who want to ‘top up’ to an Honours Degree, having already completed a Level 5 qualification such as an HND or Foundation Degree in Criminal Justice, Public Services, Policing or similar subject. It is also suitable for those who have achieved a similar level of experience as practitioners in the criminal justice system and want to formalise this to gain a degree qualification.
You will take four year-long modules which cover a broad range of subjects representing contemporary issues and debates in crime and justice. The modules are as followed: Global Crimes, Interpersonal Violence, Justice and Punishment and Crime Research and Investigation.
In addition to these modules, you will be able to follow a programme of activities to support your employability, including careers presentations from professionals working in criminal justice and other relevant sectors. You’ll have access to our ‘Student Futures’ team who offer a range of workshops as well as one-to-one support on practical skills training, careers planning, and job-hunting techniques.
Study style
The programme is delivered entirely online. Each week, for about six to eight hours, you will join live lectures or seminars led by your tutors. If you are a full-time student you should expect these scheduled sessions to take place over two weekdays, an arrangement which maximises your flexibility for organising personal commitments around your studies. Other activities are set for you to follow before or after your scheduled online classes in order to consolidate your learning and prepare for your assessments. You will be fully supported by a personal tutor.
Although all the learning and assessment for the programme is designed so that you can complete it entirely online, we offer optional opportunities for you to visit our campus to meet tutors and undertake ‘enrichment’ activities, for instance using our Crime Scene House.
