What the college says

The WJEC Level 3 Applied Diploma in Criminology is a qualification with elements of psychology, law and criminology that complements studies in Humanities. This is an Applied General qualification. This means it is designed primarily to support students who are progressing to university. It has been designed to offer exciting and interesting experiences that focus through applied learning, i.e. through the acquisition of knowledge and understanding in purposeful contexts linked to the criminal justice system. Each unit within the qualification has an applied purpose which acts as a focus for the learning in the unit. Learning relates to authentic case studies and requires students to consider how the use and application of their learning impacts on themselves, other individuals, employers, society and the environment.
