About the programme
The Criminology programme at University of Hull will train you to appreciate local issues in a global and historical context when tackling current affairs in crime and criminal justice. These will include social justice, gender and health inequalities, environmental crime and sustainability.
You will apply what you learn into practice in our purpose-built replica crime scene facility right here on campus. A recent addition to the university, it provides detailed and realistic crime scenes for you to explore. Get hands-on to collect evidence, explore criminal activity, and see the world of forensic science brought to life.
When you choose one of our Criminology degrees, you’ll get the chance to apply for a semester-long placement with Humberside Police. You’ll work with areas like CSI, the Special Branch Ports Unit, Community Policing, Cybercrime and the custody suite. You will also visit crime scenes, observe interviews, and collect evidence. Recent students have had the opportunity to investigate policing and security issues.
