Modern Languages and Criminology and Criminal Justice BA (Hons)

Bangor University

The degree allows you to combine a Modern Language (Chinese, French, German, Italian or Spanish, from beginners or advanced level) and Criminology & Criminal Justice. You will develop written and oral skills and will learn about cultural aspects. This course will also impart strong knowledge in theories and evidence relating to crime, criminals and victims, and examine the way in which the criminal justice system works.All language modules include written skills (e.g. translation and essay writing) and oral skills taught by a native speaker.The optional modules available in modern languages allow you to gain insight into the cinema, literature, history, and culture of the country whose language you are studying. Your Criminology and Criminal Justice modules will focus on a range of social and political issues that sit well alongside the types of subjects you will learn about within modern languages.There are also extra-curricular activities that will both boost your subject knowledge and allow you to get to know your fellow students.‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you.
