You don’t need to have a career plan in mind to enrol onto one of criminology degrees. As a whole, these courses allow you to explore elements of the legal system such as, the relationship between crime, society and the law, the political, psychological and social aspects of criminology, and crime prevention, all intertwined with current affairs. By the time you’ve finished studying criminology with Arden University, you’ll have developed transferrable critical thinking skills that can be applied to a range of careers.

At Arden, our criminology syllabuses are updated on a quarterly basis, to ensure that the subjects you learn about are entrenched in the here and now. This empowers our students to grow their opinions, enter debate, and apply what they learn to contemporary systems.
