About Criminology with Cybercrime, BSc (Hons) - at University of Kent
Criminology with Cybercrime at Kent tackles one of today’s biggest challenges: how crime is evolving in the digital age – and how we can respond.
You’ll build a solid grounding in criminological theory and learn the key coding and digital skills needed to understand the technological side of cybercrime. During the course, you’ll deepen your knowledge of both fields, exploring contemporary issues in criminology while also developing your understanding of cyber security.
You’ll have the flexibility to choose from a range of optional modules across criminology, computing and law. As you bring these perspectives together, you’ll explore how criminologists and computer scientists work together to solve real-world problems. You’ll also apply your knowledge to a variety of cyber-related case studies, gaining the insight and confidence to tackle the complex challenges of digital crime.
You’ll learn from criminologists and computer scientists whose research covers everything from online fraud and hacking to digital policing, dark web markets and cyber security. You’ll also gain valuable hands-on experience through real-world, case-based projects and you’ll have the opportunity to work with partner organisations.
Whether you want to shape policy, work in cyber security, join the criminal justice system, or build a career in tech, our course gives you the knowledge and skills to thrive in one of the fastest-growing areas of criminology.
This course has options to take a Year In Industry or a Year Abroad.
