Course summary
Challenge your view on crime through the application of psychology
The BSc (Hons) Psychology and Criminology offers an excellent grounding in two broad and related disciplines. Building on the strength of our accredited psychology degree, this new course provides you with the understanding of how individuals are shaped by biology and social settings, and you will be able to articulate this within the context of crime and societal change.
In psychology, you will study processes underpinning thinking, reasoning, and social interactions. In criminology, you will learn about the role of criminal justice theory, theories of crime and how these relate to policy and practice.
You will have access to global exchange and volunteering opportunities throughout your studies to enhance your CV and maximise your career prospects.
You will also have access to a suite of facilities and labs including a Tobii eye tracker, Biosemi EEG, and Crime House
