📚About the Program

The criminology program is aimed at those who are interested in working with issues related to crime, vulnerability, addiction and mental illness. The program in criminology comprises three years of full-time study and provides basic theoretical and methodological knowledge to understand the reasons why individuals commit crimes and are exposed to crimes. The education is mainly theoretical and the students read and discuss criminological research. Within the education, the theoretical knowledge is clearly linked to various practical areas of application, such as crime prevention and safety-creating work. In this way, the education provides concrete preparation for working life. As a student, you learn to map and study criminological problems, to analyze the causes of the problems and to identify knowledge-based solutions and measures. In addition to the basic course, the continuation course and the bachelor's course in criminology, three more semesters are included with courses that have been specially developed for the criminology program. These three semesters contain, for example, courses dealing with crime development, criminal law, juvenile delinquency, evaluation methodology, alcohol and drugs, risk assessment for violence and network analysis.
