I enjoy the range of modules that are offered. The core modules give me fundamental knowledge, but the optional modules allow me to pick modules that I want to know more about.

The best thing about my course is that it is a joint honours, therefore it is the best of both in my eyes, I love how I get a balance of modules between criminology and sociology, so there is a wide variety.
