Course summary
This degree combines the fields of psychology and criminology. Through scientific study, staff expertise from both areas work together to integrate insights from both disciplines. Therefore, it not only covers the curriculum recommended by the British Psychological Society (BPS), through which students develop an understanding of the individual, but also engages with criminological theories exploring crime, victims, societal structures and the operation of the criminal justice system. For example, students explore internal human motivation, development, and mental processes.
The course places particular emphasis on applying theoretical knowledge to practical, real world issues and controversies. Current psychological-criminological debates which students will be able to examine by developing research design and analysis skills, allowing them to conduct their own research. This means that graduates will develop expertise to match their future career goals: going onto phase 1 of becoming a forensic psychologist or working within the criminal justice system.
Therefore, the programme also aims to further develop students’ intellectual and employability skills, for example, critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and problem solving.
