While not an A Level, this Applied Diploma does carry UCAS points. It should be studied alongside two regular A Levels, and together will be accepted for entry to undergraduate study at many universities.
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.
