  • No se contemplan itinerarios ni menciones para esta titulación.

  • This multidisciplinary training of the criminologist allows one to intervene in both the field of crime prevention and crime response procedures. This makes for an extensive professional field, ranging from administration of justice, public or private security, the third sector or attention to victims.

  • Mobility

    Student mobility is regulated through the “Regulation of inter-university exchange.” Exchange programmes are managed through the International Relations Office, such as national exchange programmes (SICUE) as well as Europeans (ERASMUS) and from outside the European Union (exchanges with Latin American countries or English-speaking countries):

    Internships

    The study plan for the degree in criminology includes the completion of a compulsory 16.5-credit Practicum. The fundamental objective is for the students to develop the skills acquired in the subjects of the degree through their immersion in a working environment representative of their future professional context.

    To be able to register in the Practicum, students must have passed the following subjects:

    -All first- and second-year subjects.

    -The following third year subjects:
    G3191321 Delinquency and juvenile justice
    G3191323 Penology and prison science
    G3191326 Criminal psychology II
    G3191327 Offender assessment and treatment
    G3191330 Criminal process
    G3191331 Forensic psychiatry
    G3191332 Victimology

    -The following fourth year subject:
    G3191422 Legal and forensic medicine

    The procedures for carrying out the practicum conform to the USC regulations in this regard, approved by the Governing Council (07/29/2015)3 and to the Law Faculty's Quality Assurance System. They will be organised and administered, in order to guarantee quality, academic recognition and the most appropriate use by students. For this, the students will have an external tutor, belonging to the institution where the internship is carried out, who will coordinate with an academic tutor who will carry out the evaluation based on the memory that the students must complete and from the report issued by the external tutor.

    They can be carried out in collaborating organisations or entities, such as companies, public and private entities related to the field of criminology in a broad sense. Currently, the Faculty of Law has active internship agreements with numerous companies and institutions which, due to their objectives and content, are likely to be extended and offered to the students of the faculty itself in the future degree in criminology.

    To that must be added the cooperation agreement signed between the University of Santiago de Compostela and the Galician Academy of Public Security on March 18, 2009 and renewed throughout the following academic years.

  • Students must complete a project in which they demonstrate the skills acquired throughout the degree. The faculty, at the proposal of the programme coordinator, will offer assignments each year, taking into account the training content included in the study plan, and tutors. The students will select the topic of the work within that offer and the tutor or tutors will be assigned to each student based on the content of the work and the teaching capacity of the teaching staff. The assessment will be carried out on the basis of an assessment report issued by the tutor. To be able to register for the final dissertation, students must have passed 150 ECTS of the degree, including all basic training.
