AMA -Sociology & Criminology

Hi, I have applied for this course at a different uni. I was wondering what you thought about the course, if you enjoyed it and what you modules you do etc. Also does it lead to many career options? Thank you so much!

Hello! Sorry for the late reply. I've really enjoyed the course to be honest. Was doing Advertising for a year beforehand and hated it. I'm not sure if you have done Sociology at A-level before? If you have, the first year (for me at least) was general theory stuff, some of which you might already know, but in more detail and with more added. It can seem a little dry but it really does help in the following years, and for me it was a smooth introduction for what was to come. I enjoyed the second and third year very much - we had a module called Crime, Health and Society which was AMAZING and probably my all time favourite unit. It definitely does get better, especially when you get to pick units that you really like the sound of. As for careers... there is a lot you can go into. At my uni we've had people go into journalism, social research, marketing... I am not sure what to do so am carrying on to do a Masters at a different university. You'll get people saying that it's a 'mickey mouse' degree, but it's so varied and more difficult than those people think it is.

I hope you enjoy your uni experience, and I'm here if you have any more questions!

Hello everyone!

I am a third year Sociology & Criminology student at Bournemouth University. If anyone has any questions about the course please feel free to ask! I know that lockdown must be making uni/course decisions that little bit harder 🙂
