Start Your Criminology Degree Without A-Levels: A Pathway for Adult Learners

Interested in understanding crime, justice, and society — but don’t have A-Levels? You can still pursue a degree in criminology with the right support.

​

At Omega Partners, we specialise in helping adults from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, and beyond who don’t have traditional qualifications. We connect you with foundation year programmes that provide an accessible route into criminology degrees.

What is Criminology?

Criminology explores the causes of crime, how the criminal justice system works, and ways to prevent crime. It’s a fascinating subject if you’re passionate about social justice, law enforcement, or community safety.
