Course summary

An understanding of criminology is pertinent to many job roles within the criminal justice sector, social and probation work as well as sociology and psychology. The WJEC Level 3 Applied Diploma in Criminology is a qualification with elements of law, psychology, and sociology that go well with studies in humanities. This is an ‘Applied General’ qualification which means it is designed mainly to support students progressing to university. It offers exciting and interesting experiences that focus learning for Sixth Form students through acquiring knowledge and understanding in purposeful contexts associated with the criminal justice system. This qualification would support learners’ progression from any study at Level 2, particularly GCSEs in Citizenship, Humanities, History, Law, and Sociology.
