Criminology

The BSc in Criminology is a multidisciplinary social science that goes beyond the "who" and "how" of a crime to investigate the deeper "why." It explores the nature, causes, consequences, and prevention of criminal behavior. This degree combines sociology, psychology, and law to understand how societies define crime and how justice systems respond to it.
