The criminology course is proving to be one of the college's most popular attractions, combining both theoretical learning and practical tests on mocked up crime scenes.

The criminology course is a two-year level three programme split into four units – changing awareness of crime, criminology theories, crime scene to court, and crime and punishment.

The college currently has more than 100 students enrolled on the course, many of whom have recently visited the Supreme Court in London, and the former Shrewsbury Prison, as part of their studies.

Morgan Williams, 18, a former Ercall Wood Academy student from Telford is currently in her first year, and combining criminology studies with psychology and sociology.
