Course summary
Overview
Our joint honours course allows students to pursue their own areas of interest within Criminology and English Literature whilst also providing them with a solid foundation in the discipline and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for their future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable students to gradually develop their knowledge and skills and to become autonomous, effective and independent learners.
Criminology is a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary subject concerned with analysing the nature, occurrence and explanations of crime, criminal behaviour and societal responses to these phenomena. English Literature offers students the opportunity to study British and world literatures through a model of progressive specialisation that teaches advanced literary critical skills in the context of periodised, thematised, formal and theoretical modules.
Learning and assessment
In your first year, you鈥檒l develop key academic skills that will help you succeed in the course. We鈥檒l also ask some big questions like, What is crime? Why do some people commit crime, but not others? You鈥檒l build the core skills and understanding you need for undergraduate literary studies with modules in critical theory and global literatures.
In your second year, core modules help you learn to challenge the status quo - how might capitalism encourage crime? Where and why are there inequalities in the criminal justice system? You鈥檒l broaden and deepen your knowledge of literature in relation to movements and cultures past and present. You鈥檒l begin to specialise, following your own interests.
In your final year, you鈥檒l have the freedom to focus on what you care about most, including your dissertation subject. Optional modules can include topics like the pleasures of crime, visual criminology, queer criminology, drugs, or policing. You can explore literary topics like urbanisation, utopian societies, artificial intelligence, sustainability or even witchcraft.
