This Psychology with Criminology BSc will develop your understanding of how we behave, think and interact in society together with crime, responses to crime, criminal behaviour, victimisation and how the criminal justice system operates.
As well as covering the fundamental and basic areas of psychology, you'll study a varied and encompassing curriculum in psychology and criminology: alongside the deep insight into the human mind and behaviour that psychology provides, you'll also develop a critical understanding of why crimes arise and how they impact individuals and society.
The programme encourages you to evaluate current issues and offers challenging opportunities for you to learn about the applications of psychology and criminology throughout your course.
You'll also develop skills valued by employers such as teamwork, communication, time and task management skills, statistical analysis of data, problem solving and the ability to critically evaluate evidence.
