Criminology and Offending Courses

Overview

Criminology examines crime from a social perspective, exploring the causes of crime and its impact on victims, their families, wider society and even the criminals themselves.

Our career-focused Criminology and Offending degrees immerse you in this rapidly developing field, equipping you with a critical understanding of the spectrum of crime, deviance and victimisation, as well as criminal justice.

You can specialise in Criminology, combine the study of Criminology with a related subject, or choose a dedicated degree focused on offending behaviour and the associated rehabilitation and wellbeing of offenders.

Facilities

The £6m Law and Psychology building provides contemporary teaching and learning facilities for students in the Department of Law and Criminology.

The three-storey building includes a 250-seat lecture theatre, seminar and tutorial rooms, and social learning areas which encourage a more informal and interactive style of learning.

Elsewhere on campus, there is a mooting room (a mock courtroom) and the EHU Police Training and Simulation Facility, part of which is furbished as a police station, which simulates a wide range of crime scenes.
