Northumbria University has invested heavily in an impressive suite of analytical equipment allowing you to gain first-hand experience of the techniques used in operational laboratories. You will have access to a bespoke crime scene house for crime scene investigations and a former magistrates’ court to participate in mock court sessions. Students can also access Return to Scene (R2S) software which provides a 360 degree interactive scan of a crime scene allowing you to perform further analysis in detail. Technology enabled learning is embedded throughout the course including apps and the eLearning Portal, digital reading lists, self-assessment and formal electronic assessments. The 24/7 University Library achieves some of the highest levels of student satisfaction in the UK and has held the Cabinet Office accreditation for Customer Service Excellence since 2010. Our criminology staff play leading roles within professional associations such as the British Society of Criminology and the Academy of the Social Sciences, and serve on the editorial boards of leading disciplinary journals. Their research interests include criminal justice systems, policy mobilities, policing, mental health offenders and green crime.
