Research has shown that there exists a significant and wide gap between what students in higher education are able to achieve in English Foreign Language and what truly is designed in a syllabus. This study aims to explore and identify the specific English language needs that the BUAP Criminology students have. Based on a review of literature on needs analysis and its approaches, this study was conducted by qualitative research and also a descriptive methodology applying a questionnaire. This instrument was provided by e-mail to thirty BUAP criminology students who were asked to respond to eleven closed-ended and open-ended questions using different types of likert scales. Analysis of the responses demonstrates that criminology students´ necessities are not successfully covered in order to learn effectively English Foreign Language and apply it in a real international job context. The findings indicate that EFL courses incorporated in the Criminology BA do not fulfill the students´ requirements, and on this basis, it is recommended that ESP programs are implemented based on the needs analysis of students".pdfengHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTAInglés--Estudio y enseñanza (Superior)--Hablantes extranjerosInglés--Estudio y enseñanza--CurrículaAdquisición de segunda lenguaEstudiantes universitarios--EntrevistasCompetencia comunicativaAutopercepción--InvestigaciónTesis de licenciaturaopenAccess
