What the college says

An understanding of criminology is relevant to many job roles within the criminal justice sector, including police officers, probation and prison officers, and social workers. With their critical thinking, analytical and communication skills, criminology graduates are also attractive to employers outside the criminal justice sector in areas such as social research and politics. The course has been designed to provide learners with underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills to progress to further study and training. It offers exciting and interesting experiences that focus learning for 16-19 year-old learners and adult learners through applied learning, i.e. through the acquisition of knowledge and understanding in purposeful contexts linked to the criminal justice system. The WJEC Level 3 Applied Diploma carries the same UCAS tariff points as a conventional A-Level course. Whilst most universities (including those within the prestigious Russell Group of research-led universities) accept this qualification as part of a standard three-subject conditional offer for a university place, students and parents should note that it may be unsuitable for applying to some universities and/or some courses.
