Programme Overview
Note: As part of our regular review of degree programmes, SIT and UoL are extending the collaboration to recruit two further cohorts of students to the BA (Hons) in Criminology and Security than was originally planned. These additional cohorts will be recruited in AY2018 and AY2019 with no further students being recruited from AY2020 onward. SIT and UoL will ensure that the quality of teaching on the programme remains of a high standard until the programme ends in 2022. The BA (Hons) in Criminology and Security degree offered by UoL will continue to be a fully-recognised degree in Singapore and beyond.
The full-time programme will follow a three year degree structure. Year One will follow the common first year model studied by all students in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology. Year Two will provide students with a more focused specialism in criminological theory and research. Year Three will provide a greater element of choice to enable students to specialise in a range of criminological subjects.
The programme will include several optional modules that will have been adapted or developed to the South East Asian context. Such modules will be evaluated and validated in the same way as every University of Liverpool degree programme, ensuring the quality of the content, pedagogy, qualification and consequently the student experience will be identical to degrees delivered at the home campus.
Eligibility and Exemption
Diploma holders from any of the five local polytechnics and A-level graduates are welcome to apply.
Shortlisted applicants will be required to sit for a written test held on one of these dates as scheduled by the administrator.
Selection shall be solely within the discretion of the University and will depend upon the number of places available in the programme.
In addition to the compulsory and optional modules, all students will need to undertake a four-week summer programme in the UK, based at the University of Liverpool campus. This will include a programme of lectures and seminars on key UK and European criminal justice and security initiatives, as well as visits to key criminal justice institutions and sites in the UK. Students will undertake this between Years Two and Three of the degree programme, and will have the opportunity during the visit to conduct independent research in the UK under supervision to assist them with final-year studies.

Aims
The module aims to introduce students to a range of methods of enquire commonly used within the discipline of sociology and social policy and to key approaches to the gathering of knowledge/data. Teaching and learning methods will give students an opportunity to study and to practice key skills necessary to make effective use of available information resources, and to communicate ideas using a range of methods, including internet newsgroups, e-mail and bulletin boards. Students will be asked to put together both a portfolio of work and a literature review which will relate to one substantive subject area, which can be chosen from a given list and which reflects area covered in Year 2 and 3 teaching. This will allow the students to build up a body of work which they can refer to and build upon throughout their degree studies.

SOCS241 (Policing, Crime and Society) is a level 2 module that introduces students to the core practical and sociological understandings of modern policing in both a domestic and international context. The module is designed to provide an insight into the concepts of policing and the police, connecting significant past and present policing issues with sociological analysis and changes in criminal justice policy.
This module seeks to provide a conceptual, historical, contemporary and global understanding of the ‘police’, one of the key social and legal institutions of the modern State. The police are an integral part of the criminal justice system, but the reach of ‘policing’ can also be evidenced in covert policing practices within the private security sector, and counter-terrorism.
