Explore the fascinating realms of psychology and criminology on our joint honours degree, with hands-on experience in our £45m Science Centre.<br/><br/>Our degrees are accredited by the British Psychological Society and delivered in our world class Science Centre with dedicated Psychology labs.<br/>Gain unique experiences at live trials at the Crown Court and the Old Bailey.<br/>Bring the world of work to life through Live Briefs; designed and developed with regional employers to give you exposure to ‘real world’ problem-solving.<br/>Explore world-leading research with 98% of our Psychology research being recognised as internationally significant (REF 2023).<br/>We offer support with the cost of living, and Psychology courses deliver compressed teaching across three days of the week, freeing your time for work experience.<br/><br/>How do our thoughts and feelings dictate our actions? And is there such a thing as the criminal mind?<br/><br/>These are fascinating questions, and psychology and criminology are equally fascinating fields. You might be interested in both, and wondering which area to specialise in. If that’s the case, our British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited Psychology with Criminology degree is made for you.<br/><br/>We start by looking at the main principles of psychology and criminology. Then, in Years 2 and 3, our optional modules give you the freedom to explore your own interests in more depth.<br/><br/>By studying BSc (Hons) Psychology with Criminology at ARU, you’ll learn from expert tutors who are actively engaged in research work. And you can take advantage of our specialist science facilities too, including laboratories for analysing hair and saliva samples, and measuring electrical activity in the brain.<br/><br/>You’ll learn about criminal profiling and how it offers insights into youth offending, gendered violence, genocide, rape, abuse and other types of crime. You’ll look at media representations of crime, and explore social and developmental psychology.<br/><br/>But we don’t just learn in the classroom. There are field trips to places such as the Old Bailey and Auschwitz. You’ll sit in on live trials in Cambridge Crown Court too, and observe the dynamics of the court room.<br/><br/>In the final year of your course, there’s the chance to learn about offending and offender rehabilitation from trainee forensic psychologists. You’ll also complete a major project within psychology – and define your future career path.
