Why do people commit crimes? What is the purpose of punishment and how should we punish people? What shapes our beliefs about crime? Students interested in exploring these fascinating questions would benefit from taking the criminology course. The course also has a 'crime scene to courtroom' 'CSI ' element looking at the process of evidence and people who work in the Criminal Justice System who come together to prosecute a criminal offense. Learners have to complete assignments as part of their assessment, in addition to an exam; for this, they will gain practical experience of research methods, but also develop skills in critical evaluation of where the criminal justice system falls. Students will be asked to consider how the use and application of their learning impact on individuals, employers, society, and the environment. This type of learning is about applied knowledge, and learning skills in the classroom to use in the community in a very purposeful and practical way.
You should have at least 5 GCSEs at Grade 4 and above including English, maths and science.
Unit 1 and Unit 3 are assessed internally and moderated by the exam board. Unit 2 and Unit 4 are assessed by written examinations. The two Certificate units each account for 50% of the total Certificate qualification, whilst all four units each account for 25% of the Diploma. Each examination lasts for 1hr 30mins and carries 75 marks.
