To provide a programme that is both interdisciplinary and has a critical focus, that is, that challenges 'taken for granted' notions. To provide graduates with the appropriate subject knowledge and transferable skills, and the ability to take responsibility for their own learning, to pursue a career related to the programme of study, in general employment, or further study. To provide an environment which facilitates and supports student-centred learning; that is inclusive and accessible to all students; that encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning and personal development, as they progress through the programme. Encourage students to fully engage with the World of Work programme, including the World of Work Skills Certificate and, as a first step towards this, to complete Bronze (Self Awareness) Statement.

A student who is eligible for this award will be able to: 1. Have a systematic understanding of key concepts, theories and methods informing the study of criminology and sociology. After acquiring familiarity with these at level four, students will develop their subject knowledge in core areas and be able to engage with academic literature, and support critical and normative evaluations. 2. Having achieved an understanding of the key traditions of major theories, students will be able to apply a critical perspective on their relevance to the study of important fields of criminology and sociology, examining the varieties of criminal and other socially harmful activities and including issues of power, gender, race and social policy. 3.

Have developed a reflexive awareness of the nature of the knowledge of the social world. 5. Be able to demonstrate knowledge of research strategies and methods as appropriate to evidence based disciplines. The ability to investigate, using these skills, is developed in both core and optional modules 6. Formulate and investigate problems/issues (Sociology Benchmarks, 2007, 4.3[1]). 7.

Utilise abstraction, analysis and deduction in the formulation and solving of problems, both individually and collectively. 12. Analyse, interpret and apply major theories and concepts in the study of Sociology and Criminology 13. Independently engage with subject literature, questioning received thinking, and to support critical and normative judgements on sociological issues and theories with relevant evidence and structured argument 14.

Use ICT and traditional methods for the retrieval and presentation of information (Word processing, spreadsheets etc). 19. Work independently, demonstrating skills of self-organisation, time management, the ability for self-reflection and self-improvement. 20. Collaborate with others to achieve collective goals. 21. Develop 'life-skills' (e.g. the exercise of initiative, personal responsibility, decision-making, problem-solving and the ability to pursue further training) necessary for future employment (QAA Framework Annexe 1). The opportunities to achieve these outcomes are available (in various contexts) in core and option modules to ensure their achievement by students on the Criminology & Sociology programme. Teaching, Learning and Assessment The methods used to enable outcomes to be achieved and demonstrated are as follows:
3 The programme incorporates staff-led and student-centred strategies with a progressive emphasis on the latter as students develop as independent learners. The former includes both formal and interactive lectures, and seminars, which provide opportunities to present ideas, discuss and reflect. The latter involve small group activities, tutorials, workshops and enquiry-based learning. These are designed to: Foster student progression. Stimulate interest and encourage participation. Provide equal opportunities to develop learning skills at all levels. Encourage critical analysis and the application of theory. Utilise ICT and Blackboard. The Assessment strategy is guided by School, University and QAA guidelines and ensures that: Assessment, as part of the learning process, involves feedback (diagnostic, formative or summative) that is timely and constuctive. Criteria of attainment are given in handbooks and module assignments. Assessment across the programme is planned, and designed to be coherent, balanced and to facilitate the achievement of learning outcomes. Assessment meets the criteria (QAA and School) of validity, reliability and consistency. Assessment takes account of students with particular needs (SENDA compliant). The programme utilises a wide range of assessments including Essays, Exams, reports, portfolios, projects, self-reflective diaries, biography, leaflet, book reviews, enquiry-based learning, presentations (written and oral) and, at level 6, an optional dissertation for 24 or 36 credits. Placement learning experience will be delivered and reviewed and/or assessed. Assessment methods comply with the University's guidelines on assessment methods or Erasmus Learning or Training Agreement. QAA Chapters B3 (Learning and Teaching) and B10 (Managing Higher Education Provision with Others) of the UK Quality Code for Higher Education: Indicator 8 `Degree-awarding bodies take responsibility for ensuring that they retain proper control of Placement Learning Code of Practice. World of Work Careers Centre DP amended Page 6 'the academic standards of awards where learning opportunities are delivered with others'. Indicators 18 `Degree awarding bodies ensure that they have effective control over the accuracy of all public information, publicity and promotional activity which leads to their awards. Information is produced for prospective and current students, which is fit for purpose, accessible and trustworthy. Delivery organisations or support providers are provided with all information necessary for the effective delivery of the learning or support'. Lectures provide information on B1-B5, and seminars/workshops provide an opportunity for students to develop their own understanding, B3. Projects/workshops facilitate B3-B4, and additional student-centred strategies develop B1-B5. Coursework in various forms (Essays, projects, presentations) assess all of these skills in different contexts. Exams are used to assess B2, B3 and B4. N/A N/A These skills are introduced in the Sociology Tutorial module, at level four. Thereafter, core and option modules at levels 5 and 6 involve a combination of student-centred learning in both collective (seminars/workshops, group project work etc) and individual contexts ( independent learning, tutorials, dissertations). Teaching is block time-tabled into 2 hour sessions. The variety of learning experiences and assessment tasks is designed to stimulate interest and encourage participation, and to provide opportunities for students with differing capabilities and aptitudes to develop transferable skills. Presentations, group projects, Essays, portfolios etc. assess D1-D6. Examinations assess D2. D1-D5 and D7 are additionally assessed via WBL; on-line tests and assessments and reports. Programme structure - programme rules and modules The programme is offered on both a full-time (3 years) and a part-time day (5 years) basis. Entry to the programme is normally at level 4. The programme is organised in three levels (each corresponding to one year's full-time attendance). 120 credits are required for the completion of each level and 360 credits for the completion
4 of the full Honours programme. The programme is taught within the Academic Framework. Modules are of two types: core and option. Modules are 24 credits as specified, although within university defined limits (ie a student may only study a maximum of one 12 credit module at each level). A range of choice is offered in response to student opinion in favour of a choice being available which was strongly expressed through the programme review process and to enable focus on Criminological, Sociological/Methodological or generic work-based options. These modules may not all run every year. International Fieldwork is offered in module 6015SOCIO. The School of Humanities and Social Science also offers students the opportunity to study abroad for a semester under the ERASMUS Exchange scheme. Students are encouraged to consider spending some time studying abroad through this method. Personal Development Planning (PDP) is integral to the programme and will be considered in personal tutorials. Students will be allocated a personal tutor who will tutor them at Level 4 and 5. All Level 6 personal tutors will be allocated in line with the studies module with independent study element where appropriate. Personal Tutors will invite tutees to meet with them at least once per term to discuss academic progress, personal development planning and other issues raised by the tutee. Personal Tutors and other academic staff will be available outside of these meetings by appointment, during their Office Hours, or by phone or . All modules at level 4 are core and must be taken. Across levels 5 and 6 students are required to take 120 credits from Criminology and 120 credits from Sociology in order to provide a balanced programme. In line with LJMUs World of Work agenda students are required to study the Social Research Methods module where the work-related learning is housed. Students must then take 24 credits of theory, in the form of Criminological Perspectives. Students are then able to choose another 24 credits of either Sociology or Criminology modules and, depending on their choice, 48 credits of either Criminology or Sociology. In order to undertake a Dissertation students must submit a satisfactory proposal at the end of Level 5. At level 6 there are no core modules but students must ensure that they have 120 credits in both Criminology and Sociology over levels 5 and 6. Thus those students who have taken a 72:48 split Criminology:Sociology at L5 will be required to take a 48:72 split Criminology:Sociology at L6 and vice versa. 6015SOCIO Can count towards Sociology or Criminology to balance programme. Students successfully completing the single honours programme will achieve all the programme outcomes.
