Criminology with Law BSc (Hons)
Overview
Please note: this course is subject to validation - meaning some details are awaiting confirmation. First year of entry for this course is September 2027. Register your interest to be informed when applications open.
Crime does not have a simple solution. The laws that shape our responses to it, the institutions built to enforce them, and the communities living with the consequences are in constant, often contested, negotiation, and that tension is not going away.
Criminology with Law BSc (Hons) at Northumbria puts you at the centre of those debates. You could develop the analytical tools to interrogate how legal systems really work, the critical thinking to question why some harms are criminalised and others are not, and the research skills to take a position and defend it with confidence.
You would learn alongside academics contributing to live debates in criminal justice, socio-legal studies, and public policy, building the analytical confidence and professional credibility that sets you apart, alongside the kind of thinking that employers across the public, third, and justice sectors are looking for.
International students: because this course is subject to validation, we are not able to issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) for it yet. If you require a Student Visa to study in the UK, please register your interest - we'll be in touch as soon as the course is fully validated and applications open.
Fees and Funding 2027/28 Entry
UK Fee in Year 1:
The University may increase tuition fees in the second and subsequent years of your course at our discretion in line with any inflationary or other uplift, as decided by the UK Government, up to the maximum amount for fees permitted by UK law or regulation for that academic year. To give students an indication of the likely scale of any future increase, the UK government has suggested that increases may be linked to RPIX (Retail Price Index excluding mortgage interest payments). If the University intends to exercise this right to increase tuition fees, notification will be communicated with all students affected by the end of June in the academic year before the one in which we intend to exercise that right. Student fee loans have risen in line with the level of uplift decided by the UK Government.
Extended Degrees: Students will pay the applicable Foundation Year fee in Year 0. Tuition fees will follow the Year 1 (Level 4) cap in the first year of Undergraduate study, with tuition fees in subsequent years increasing as per the above information.
International Fee in Year 1: TBC
International fees for the 2027/28 academic year will be confirmed in due course. As an indication, tuition fees in the 2026/27 academic year were £19,850 or £21,500 depending on the course of study. Fees are charged for each year of study and may be subject to an inflationary or other uplift in the second and subsequent years of study as decided by the University. Students will be notified of any changes by the end of June each academic year.
