About this course

Understanding crime and its impact on society requires a deep dive into both human behaviour and criminal activities. Our Psychology and Criminology degree combines these two areas to give you a well-rounded perspective on the issues surrounding crime.

Psychology explores the human mind and behaviour, while criminology looks at crime, deviance, and the workings of the criminal justice system. This course brings both fields together, helping you develop a thorough understanding of why people act the way they do and how crime affects communities.

Throughout the programme, you'll gain insights into human behaviour and apply what you learn through various engaging assessments. The course prepares you for careers in health, social care, criminal justice, and other public and social services.

This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), and sets you up for further study or a career in psychology and criminology.
