Criminology and Criminal Psychology (Extended)

Our extended degree in criminology and criminal psychology starts with a foundation year to prepare you for degree-level learning. You will then study the same modules as our three-year course.

This course is aimed at anyone interested in crime, psychology and the criminal justice system. You will get an introduction to criminology and criminal psychology and explore issues such as offender profiling, stalking psychopathology, gender, race and discrimination, crime scene investigation and terrorism. You can also undertake a work placement to practise your learning and skills.

Our criminology graduates have pursued careers in policy, research, policing, social care and welfare, and organisations such as HM Revenue and Customs.
