Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Criminology

What makes Winchester different is its authentic approach to learning. UoW's lecturers aren’t just academics – they’re magistrates, former prisoners, ex-police officers, and victim sector professionals who bring real-world insight into every seminar. In the close-knit criminology family, students will be known by name, supported by the same personal tutor for all three years, and challenged to think critically about justice, ethics, and social change.

The contemporary curriculum tackles the issues that matter most right now – from digital crime and AI in policing to global organised crime and social justice. Students will use professional crime mapping software, investigate cybercrime cases, and explore how inequality shapes criminal behaviour. Every module prepares students for the rapidly evolving world of criminal justice where digital literacy and ethical reasoning are essential.
