The level 3 Diploma in Criminology is an exciting program that is aimed at school leavers. Learners will complete the diploma in one year and then progress onto the forensic science course for year 2. Alongside the main programme of study, learners will also complete a mentoring qualification which will enhance learner’s skills in a work based setting. In addition, an extended project will also be completed where learners will be able to study an area of personal interest.
Within the diploma in criminology learners will study four units:
Trips and visits, as well as guest speakers will be used in the teaching of these modules to support understanding of the subject area.
Five GCSEs at Grade A-C (9-4), including maths and English.
GCSE D (3) or above in science.
There are two externally set exams and two externally set assignments for criminology.
The extended project is achieved through the production of a portfolio.
Successful learners can apply to continue studying on the forensic science and criminal Investigation programme here at South Tyneside College. Full advice and guidance on progression routes and opportunities will be offered throughout the programme.
