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

Learn the science behind human behaviour and explore the social factors which influence crime through our interdisciplinary course. 

You will analyse crime from both psychological and criminological perspectives to understand what causes offending, how the criminal justice system works and the impact on victims. You’ll also be able to collaborate with other students and discuss public policy issues as you put crime into a wider context. 

The course can be tailored to your interests, with topics such as cyberpsychology, sentencing and penal policy, and the psychology of oppression and empowerment. To understand more about offender management, you can act out role plays in our mock custody suite and prison cell.  

The degree is taught by specialists from two departments, and you’ll receive lots of support as well, including having your own academic mentor. 

Our interdisciplinary approach enables you to keep your career options open. You could go on to specialise in forensic, clinical or health psychology, or work in victim support, prisons or probation services. 

On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: *BSc (Hons) Psychology with Criminology*
