The qualification is varied and combines elements of psychology, law and sociology. The course is designed to provide you with a broad understanding of different explanations of crime and deviance and to explore how the Criminal Justice System works and how crime can impact social policy. Class discussion and debate will give you an understanding of the theory, but you will also be putting the theory into practice by completing two controlled assessments.

The WJEC Level 3 Diploma in Criminology is assessed by two internal controlled assessments, which make up 50% of the final grade and two external exams, which make up the remaining 50% of the final grade.
