Following on from the success of the Senior Maths Challenge, our student mathematicians recently took part in the Senior Kangaroo Challenge. A chance to test and challenge their problem-solving skills, we are immensely proud of all the students for showcasing their aptitude for mathematical and logical thinking. Well done! 🎊👏

Criminology Controlled Assessment Site
You’ll have the opportunity to explore the internal and external forces that shapes our lives and determine our life chances. As part of your studies you’ll assess the merits of competing theories and explanations.
The Business and Legal Studies Team at Queen Mary’s College is made up of teachers who bring their knowledge of employment to the classroom to enhance your understanding of major topical issues and the ways in which businesses respond.
Businesses operate in a competitive, dynamic environment. QMC has links with several businesses and law firms in the local area and organises useful visits and trips to help you understand the world of work in these areas.
This exciting course is designed to provide students with an understanding of criminology. The course is a qualification with elements of psychology, law and sociology that complements studies in humanities. Students on the course will study different types of crimes and will look at the role of technology and how it’s contributed to the creation of new crimes, e.g. cybercrimes. Students will also have the opportunity to investigate how the media can play a part in societal stereotypes of criminals as well as the ongoing problems of fear of crime. Students will explore criminal behaviour as well as social policy and methods of punishment, e.g. does prison work? Criminology allows you to investigate a wide range of interesting theory which will improve your ability to analyse key facts. Class debates surrounding key topics and theory will enhance your ability to evaluate which is crucial for the examinations and the internal assessment.
Many students who have studied Criminology choose to study Social Science related degrees at university such as Criminology, Sociology, and Law. This course is also suitable for students considering careers within the criminal justice system, e.g. the probation services, policing, the courts and tribunals service or the national offender management service.
