About this course

Free Level 3 Criminology Course in Bradford. Classes run at Immanuel College, full-time during the day. The course is for 16 to 19 year olds.

Over two years, you'll explore how crime is defined, investigated, and responded to. Topics include criminal behaviour, the justice system, victimology, and social influences on crime. The course uses applied learning, so you'll connect theory to real cases and contemporary issues. It builds well on GCSEs in subjects like Sociology, Psychology, or Law.

You'll finish with a WJEC Diploma in Criminology at Level 3.
