Leading to: Criminology with Psychology BSC (Hons)

If you have an enquiring mind, are interested in the psychological application in response to these questions and being part of the solution, then criminology and psychology is for you.

You explore criminological issues alongside a psychological focus. Studying psychology gives you a deeper understanding of behaviour and how it is influenced. Psychology’s applications are found everywhere, from half-time team talks to the lighting, music and layout of supermarkets and shopping centres.

You link criminological and sociological approaches to crime and justice to more psychologically-focused perspectives on these issues. You gain research and study skills and can explore other aspects of psychology with your option choices. You graduate with a thorough grounding in theoretical criminology with psychology, and specialist knowledge gained in your module choices, which can be as diverse as drugs and domestic violence.
