Psychology with Criminology Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Explore the fascinating realms of psychology and criminology on our joint honours degree, with hands-on experience in our £45m Science Centre.

How do our thoughts and feelings dictate our actions? And is there such a thing as the criminal mind?

These are interesting questions, and psychology and criminology are equally interesting fields. You maybe intrigued by both, and wondering which area to specialise in. If that’s the case, our British Psychological Society accredited degree is perfect for you.

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 – and define your future career path.
