You will join one of the oldest university criminology departments in the world where we produce pioneering research to support policy development at a national and international level. Your studies will be framed by research from within our Crime and Conflict Research Centre (CCRC) where our areas of expertise include youth crime; community safety strategies; and inter-ethnic conflict. Our degree blends theory with practice through placements within criminology focused organisations and work-based projects, which frame your knowledge with real life case study examples from within the criminal justice system. Criminology is constantly debated in government, the media and across wider society. It is the ideal subject for those keen to pursue a career in the criminal justice system, or to progress to postgraduate study in a related field.

Middlesex Criminology graduates have been successful at gaining employment in a wide range of organisations, including the following: The Metropolitan Police, The National Offender Management Service, Jural Legal Services, the Crown Prosecution Service, the Court Service, and local government community safety, youth services, housing and environmental services, and drug and alcohol support services. Many of our graduates have gone on to develop careers in a wide range of third sector organisations including those that deal with victim support, offender and drug rehabilitation, and community based private projects often with the young and the elderly.
