The Foundation Degree in Criminal Justice provides students with the skills and capabilities utilised within the criminal justice sector and provides a fascinating insight into the workings of the British criminal justices system.

The criminal justice sector includes a wide range of statutory and voluntary agencies, as well as 'community justice' (i.e. youth justices, voluntary and charitable associations). Integral to the programme is work based learning which gives all students the opportunity to work across the criminal justice sector as part of the formal learning. Anyone with an interest in criminal justice is welcome to apply.

If you already work in the criminal justice sector, the course allows you to deepen your understanding and apply your learning to relevant situations. If you wish to start a career in the sector, you will gain knowledge, understanding, and some practical skills to aid potential employment.

The course is two years in duration when studied full-time (or three years part-time study). Course content is underpinned by a large element of personal development planning where you'll have an opportunity to use a structured framework to explore and document your personal and professional learning experience.
