Graduate in Criminology

Criminology is a meeting point where different Social Science disciplines converge and interact, which is understood as an opportunity for development and dialogue. The degree in Criminology grants graduates professional competence in in a set of crime-related areas, given that scientific skills acquired to prevent and treat delinquency improve the effectiveness of agents of social control and favor crime-fighting techniques.
