Be the change and make a difference in our increasingly complex and multicultural world
The University of Nottingham values your individuality and we are excited to see what you can bring to our community.
Sociology and criminology courses with choice
We believe that university is more than simply obtaining a degree. It’s an opportunity to grow and learn alongside like-minded individuals who will turn out to be life-long friends. Our warm, vibrant community allows you to be yourself, find your feet and have a great time – all while studying a subject that you’re passionate about.
As well as the basics, we understand that personalisation is important to our sociology and criminology students. So, alongside your core modules, you also have the freedom to choose some optional modules, allowing you to tailor your degree to your interests and career aspirations. No matter which modules you choose, you can rest assured that you’ll graduate with specialist knowledge, transferable skills, and the confidence you need to stand out to employers. Backed by our support and careers guidance every step of the way.
We offer a unique, engaging and flexible learning experience, and our teaching is recognised by a variety of higher education awards, including the University Chancellor's Award for teaching quality.
