Canterbury Christ Church University, BA (Hons), Applied Criminology with Fine and Applied Arts

The applied criminology programme provides students with the ability to apply criminological concepts to problems that arise from crime and criminal behaviour; the programme moves from a thorough grounding in the various criminological theories and issues to an in-depth application of the ideas to contemporary problems surrounding crime; the fine and applied arts course is a broad-based, highly practical undergraduate programme designed to recognise individuality, encourage independence and enhance creative and technical expertise; students may decide to follow a predominantly fine art course of studies focusing on drawing, painting, sculpture or printmaking or may wish to apply their creative skills to more design, craft, theoretical or socially-based outcomes; for example, students might choose to work with materials such as ceramics, glass, wood, metals and stone and gain technical skills in such creative processes as: modelling, carving; casting; welding; printmaking; digital and lens-based media; illustration; or even mural design; as the course progresses, there are also opportunities to apply creativity to wider social contexts such as community arts and educational activities.
