BSc (Hons) Crime and Criminology Distance Learning Portsmouth

Any reviews on this course & reviews of distance learning with portsmouth would be very helpful?

Hi! @Lstudent1997

I'm currently studying for my masters in Intelligence and International Criminal Justice. I studied criminology with criminal justice as my undergrad at Portsmouth.

At Portsmouth, the academic support team are really helpful. There is a librarian and support staff for each subject and they too will help you with anything regarding your course and are really good if you are struggling with researching material that is all accessible on the university online library. Lecturers are enthusiastic about what they teach to help you develop. Most are also currently doing research related to their topic area, which is really useful. I've had a lot of support as well from my personal tutor too not just regarding work but my career path also. I know when I when I've been in a lecture that also supported distance learning students they accommodated this really well responding to these students.

The student wellbeing service is helpful and offers a wide range of guidance that can be accessed also online. Alongside this is the union which offer lots of guidance and experiences while at university.


If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.


I hope this helps!
Best wishes

Hi Chloe!

I have just applied for the criminology and criminal justice distance learning degree and am wondering what the modules are like as there isn’t much information on the course online! What kind of topics do you learn about and what was your favourite topic to learn about!

Thank you,

Gabriella
