Student Profile:
BA (Hons) Criminology and Criminal Justice

Melissa Donovan

My course has proven to be better than I ever expected and I learn something new in every single lecture.

“When I visited the open day, met the lecturers and saw the campus and facilities I just knew Edge Hill was special and had lots to offer me. Then, throughout the application process I found there were people to help and support me every step of the way.

My course has proven to be better than I ever expected and I learn something new in every single lecture. The staff are always available to help and the facilities available here allow me to continually expand my research and writing skills.

Personally I’ve really enjoyed learning about the things we take for granted in society and have been actively encouraged to think outside the box and not to take everything at face value, learning how to critically analyse the law, the police and the state. My favourite subject so far has been studying the work of feminists and how they have helped to change the position of women within society.

My overall experience at Edge Hill has been fantastic. I’ve met lots of like-minded people and been involved in a number of initiatives that will enhance my CV and put me in a good position once I graduate.

There are so many activities for you to get involved in that will enhance your student life and I’d recommend studying at Edge Hill University to anyone.”
