What a Criminology Degree is Really Like...

[@kaylin8705]

Thank you for giving your input as a current criminology student. As someone who is debating between criminology and criminal justice this is very informative!!

[@victoriamerc1960]

thank you for the feedback :)

[@amandahilleary2581]

you can do both at once at deakin university

[@tanujatiwari2414]

Oh my god... Honestly I was in search of this content from past few days.... After going through I couldn't find it easy to leave it without letting you know that hey girl! You have really really helped me a lot. Thanks girl... God bless you ❤️❤️

[@victoriamerc1960]

I'm so glad I could help!! Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@changedmynamebcyallwouldnt..]

this video just made me decide to study criminology

[@sinchasin3611]

Are you studying it now?

[@changedmynamebcyallwouldnt..]

@@sinchasin3611 no. i used to be pretty much a straight A student. ive now been expelled from two schools (not any degree, it’s a finnish school for 16-19 year olds after which you apply to university) due to absences and not doing any of the work, i’m on my fifth year of a school thats supposed to take 3 years and will be continuing for atleast another year (if i dont get expelled again since i cant even switch schools anymore like i did the two previous times) and oh i’m also a drug addict now. life is good 😊

​@changedmynamebcyallwouldnt.. Thanks for the update. Take it easy when you can

[@user-ou9xb8lv8q]

Thank you very much for making this video, it helped me out a lot. I'm currently considering to study criminology but feel extremely intimidated by it. Could you please inform me on what I should expect regarding the research portion when studying this? Thank you!

[@victoriamerc1960]

Hi! I'm so glad you found my video useful! From my experience, the research I have had to do has been very surface level, as in just researching for assignments using peer-reviewed articles and sources of the like. I have not had to conduct any of my own research studies or experiments from scratch. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to reach out!

[@user-ou9xb8lv8q]

@@victoriamerc1960 Thank you very much for your response. I was feeling overwhelmingly conflicted over whether studying criminology would be the right path for me. Once again, thank you!

[@gereksizbirisii]

Hii, how ru doing now? I also consider criminology recently and I'm intimidated as well lol. Wanna be a criminologist (ig it's the best job I can do with criminology degree) I just wanna learn more :> Have u chosen criminology or stuff? Pls let me know if u see my comment. Have a good day :]

[@Threlkissimo]

Short, sweet and informative. Thank you

[@joeyhrlm]

Thank you so much. I’m currently a sophomore, and I can honestly say I should’ve done wayyyyyy more research. I agree with everything you said, it is heavily theory based. It definitely is not what I expected it to be. I’m currently looking into changing my major to something completely unrelated to criminology.

[@victoriamerc1960]

haha that's what i found out too, good luck with your new major!

[@brianna7198]

me too!

[@cloak19bih]

thank you for sharing victoria!

[@R6Fraafeyrooney]

I'm honestly pretty lost in what I want to become like 0 clue but I have always had the liking for things like psychology and crime investigation so I thought why not pursue criminology if I am not passionate about anything else. i am currently in 10 CBSE and next year I may take commerce with psychology are there any specific subjects to take in high school before trying for criminology?

[@jessg4498]

maybe legal studies !

[@Gagashouse90]

I am still in 8th grade but I really wanna become criminology student, I really find it fun I just wanna know if it's like super hard, or not so much

[@Fireglo]

The two Universities in my city that offer Criminology one offers a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology while the other one offers a Bachelor of Science in Criminology. Do you think the courses would differ greatly with one being more Scientific and probably more difficult? Or does it being a BA or BSc not really mean anything significant?

[@AZ-kr6ff]

The way you push your glasses up by the lens, haha. It makes me want to clean my glasses right now.

[@JohnRiversOfficial]

going to keep an eye on you. starting with my ba crim next year.

Same doubt bro

Same doubt ..!

[@sabieandreea1425]

I Do Believe That Old Fashion School Might Be The Real Problem, And The Simpliest Explanation Of " Why The Society Looks This Way In 2023 ?" What Yourself Are Saying About Learning At School, Is Pure Theoretical Information Available Ages Ago. Meanwhile, The World Evolved So Fast Further, And There Are Lack Of New Studies Or New Books Or New Other Sources Of Preventing A Criminal Chaos From Actually Happening.

[@victoriamerc1960]

Super interesting perspective!!

[@idreeskhan2360]

Thank u v much. I m a senior police officer and have learnt alot. Regards

[@misao7746]

[@mabanybiemliep8280]

very impressive lesson .......hopefully this year will be my final semester in criminology

[@misskeiratemplex2187]

thank you this was so useful!! i’m hoping to do law with criminology. do you have any advice or information about that?

[@mariaalmutari4654]

First of all thank you so much 💕 it really helped me understand the major but I’m wondering about the job opportunities for this major

[@Quartercheeseburger]

I’m hoping to do a crim double major with like psych or maybe history.

[@CaseyVanEekeren]

Im planning on studying criminology could you make a updated video on what you do now?

[@zaynaayub7423]

Hello! Quick question.. what type of assignments would you be given because I’m thinking of studying criminology but am unsure if it’s the right path for me.. also what are the exams like? Are they similar to the assignments you get given?

[@victoriamerc1960]

Many of the assignments that I have done during my studies are research essays. As for exams, a lot of them have to do with applying knowledge to essay questions and case studies, as well as redefining any theories we've learned in that specific course!

[@sanneelone8635]

After completing of their study course where people used to get jobs? In private sector I think jobs are limited.

[@ciaran_5527]

hey im like a year late i dont expect you to reply, but what careers would you expect to get out of criminology because my dream job is a criminal investigator and im not sure what the right course to take it

[@whatt.000]

how are u now in criminology

[@ziniamajumder385]

So if someone is taking criminal psychology then there would be topics on reading mind of criminal right?

[@mariahnathan6216]

Hey Victoria I enjoyed watching your video I am really interested in criminology. I was just wondering what kind of subjects did you have to take in high school?

[@jaylinpresley3605]

I’m wanting to criminology for university and I was wondering I needed to take a undergraduate?

[@rehanaparvin7320]

I have a question, can you be rich with a criminology major??

[@Ama.sandra]

Can you please do a video on how you write your lecture notes please I’m taking criminology:)

[@potatokilr7789]

Does having this degree give you any opportunities for international work?

[@junaidyjunaidy1996]

Hi mis at the moment i am working in police department and i am serching an scholarship program for study criminology.

[@pg9187]

Do u ever have to deal with crime scene or any sort of blood at some point of the course or after getting job? Thanks

[@jillianzei8683]

this is what i was wondering too because i am incredibly squeamish, but want to do my undergrad in criminology so i can go to law school

[@marcus716]

I'm from Belgium. Would you say your knowledge also applies to the criminology studies here? I am currently studying psychology at uni for 2 yrs but am thinking of changing to criminology

[@бре-ц6ч]

Lol I’m from Belgium too and now going into my first year of criminology, you’ll get subjects such as sociology and moral philosophy
