On this post, I’ll list out Criminology courses and courses related to Criminology which will benefit students who do not wish to study Criminology course itself. I know for certain that there are two category students reading this and I will try to make sure I answer both categories.
As mentioned earlier, some of you are reading this to know courses similar or related Criminology while others want to know Criminology course outlines. That is, Criminology courses (subjects) you will learn at the university.
Firstly, let me address courses that are related to Criminology. Students who study any of the related course below can work with a Security firm. Remember, Criminology in itself is a course you can study, albeit a good one with competitive job opportunities.
If you study any of these courses related to Criminology as listed below, you set yourself aside from the crowd because unlike Criminology which is encompassing, these courses are focused area within the field of Security;
- Sociology
- Psychology
- Social Work
- Peace and Conflict Study
- Forensic Science
Criminology Course Outlines
Now, these are Criminology courses you will study or be taught while preparing you to be a Criminology graduate. Normally, a course outline should contain; course name, course description, course hours etc…
I will only list out the course names excluding GST to avoid too much information and there is no guarantee that the listed subjects (courses) here will be fully covered in your school except for Nigeria Universities. Nevertheless, you will meet 97% of Criminology courses listed here.
