Program Overview

The degree allows you to combine a Modern Language (Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish, from beginners or advanced level) and Criminology & Criminal Justice. You will develop written and oral skills and will learn about cultural aspects. This course will also impart strong knowledge in theories and evidence relating to crime, criminals and victims, and examine the way in which the criminal justice system works.

All language modules include written skills (e.g. translation and essay writing) and oral skills taught by a native speaker.

The optional modules available in modern languages allow you to gain insight into the cinema, literature, history, and culture of the country whose language you are studying. Your Criminology and Criminal Justice modules will focus on a range of social and political issues that sit well alongside the types of subjects you will learn about within modern languages.

There are also extra-curricular activities that will both boost your subject knowledge and allow you to get to know your fellow students.

Course Content
For the Modern Languages element, you will have 3-4 hours of language classes per week plus classes in your Modern Languages optional modules. Tuition is mainly in small groups and there are few formal lectures. Assessment involves coursework and written and oral examinations

Your classes for Criminology and Criminal Justice will involve a mixture of lectures and seminars, and the assessment will involve a variety of assessment methods, including written assignments, essays, and examinations.

You will also complete a dissertation as part of your degree, and you will normally have approximately 10-12 hours of classes per week.
