Course Summary

Level 3 Applied Certificate in Criminology

Level 3 Applied Diploma in Criminology


An understanding of criminology is relevant to many job roles within the criminal justice

sector, social and probation work and sociology and psychology.

WJEC Level 3 Applied Diploma in Criminology is a qualification with elements of psychology,

law and sociology that complements studies in humanities.

This is an Applied General qualification. This means it is designed primarily to support

learners progressing to university. It has been designed to offer exciting and interesting

experiences that focus learning for 16-19 year-old learners and adult learners through

applied learning, i.e. through the acquisition of knowledge and understanding in purposeful

contexts linked to the criminal justice system. The qualification would support learners’

progression from any study at Level 2, particularly GCSEs in Sociology, Law, Psychology, Citizenship, History and Humanities.
