The Integrated Foundation – Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Criminology and Criminal Psychology (M9CF) is a pathway program designed to prepare students for entry into the full undergraduate degree while building essential academic and subject-specific knowledge.

The foundation year focuses on developing key skills in academic writing, research, critical thinking, and communication, while introducing students to the fundamentals of criminology, psychology, and the criminal justice system. It provides a supportive transition into university-level study, especially for students who may not yet meet direct entry requirements.

After successfully completing the foundation stage, students progress into the full degree program, where they study areas such as criminal behavior, forensic psychology, policing, criminal law, victimology, and social justice. The program explores the psychological and social factors influencing crime and examines how the justice system responds to criminal activity.

Students develop strong analytical and research skills through case studies, projects, and applied learning, preparing them to understand and address real-world crime-related issues.

Graduates of the full degree pathway can pursue careers in law enforcement, corrections, probation services, youth justice, social work, forensic support roles, and policy development, or continue with postgraduate studies in related fields.

Overall, this integrated program is ideal for students seeking a structured pathway into a criminology and psychology degree, with additional academic support and preparation for success in higher education.
