What it is	Critical Criminology examines why crimes happen and how criminal justice systems work, focusing on how power, inequality, and social structures shape both crime and punishment. Unlike traditional criminology, which mainly studies criminal behaviour itself, this program questions whether laws and enforcement are fair and who benefits from the current system. It suits students interested in understanding crime as a social problem rather than just studying offenders.	You study how people should live together, focusing on moral reasoning and political systems. Ethics examines what is right and wrong; political philosophy explores how governments should be organized and what justice means. This program suits you if you want to think critically about values, laws, and society rather than train for a specific profession, and if you're comfortable with reading, writing, and debating complex ideas.	You study how people and societies should organize themselves, and what makes choices right or wrong. Ethics and political philosophy blend thinking about moral principles with questions about power, justice, law, and governance. This program suits students who want to understand the foundations of politics and ethics through careful argument and debate rather than through policy work or management training.	This program combines philosophy and political science in one four-year degree, so you study both how societies are organized and governed alongside fundamental questions about knowledge, ethics, and human nature. Unlike studying either subject alone, you examine how philosophical ideas shape political systems and use analytical thinking to evaluate political claims. It suits students who want to understand not just how politics works, but why we should care about justice, freedom, and the rules we live by.
