How the ranking works
We rank each university on eight measures: teaching quality, academic support, student satisfaction, graduate pay, cost of living, city safety, social life and sustainability. The ranks are added together and the highest total ranks first. Lower living costs count as better, and universities with the same total share a place. Read the full methodology.
Four things to check before you apply
- Criminology or criminal justice. Some courses focus on the causes of crime and social theory. Others are more applied, covering policing, courts and prisons. Read the modules to see which you prefer.
- Joint honours options. Criminology is often combined with psychology, sociology or law. Check how the time is split and whether the combination fits your career plans.
- Placements and practical links. Check whether the course offers placements, volunteering or projects with police, probation, charities or youth justice services.
- Entry requirements. Most criminology degrees do not need specific A-levels. Check the grades and any preferred subjects on the course page.
Questions students ask
Which is the best university for criminology in the UK?
Swansea University ranks first in our 2027 criminology ranking with a score of 221, ahead of Durham University (216) and University of Exeter (215).
Can you join the police with a criminology degree?

Can you become a probation officer with criminology?
Yes. Criminology is one of the degree subjects listed for applying to the Professional Qualification in Probation (PQiP), which you must complete to qualify. Experience working with vulnerable people is expected.
What jobs can you get with a criminology degree?
Graduates work in policing, probation, prisons, youth justice, victim support, charities, local government and research. Some move into law through a conversion course. Several of these roles need extra training after graduating.
What A-levels do you need for criminology?
Most criminology degrees do not require particular subjects. Sociology, psychology, law or history are useful preparation. Check each course page for grades.
