Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Psychology with Criminology (Placement Year) (C8M0)

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology with Criminology course enables students to gain a critical understanding of crime and criminal behaviour. Alongside the study of human development, cognition, and personality, students will explore why anti-social, deviant and criminal behaviour happens, how the criminal justice system operates, and how crime can be tackled.

Psychology modules make up two-thirds of the degree, while Criminology modules make up the other third. This gives students the opportunity to study the core areas of psychology required for BPS accreditation, while developing a solid understanding of criminological theory and research. Throughout their studies students will be taught by experts in the areas of psychology and criminology, as part of the interdisciplinary School of Social Sciences.

The Psychology with Criminology course will be of special interest to students who are fascinated by both psychology and criminal justice as it aims to provide an excellent grounding for those looking to pursue careers within the criminal justice system, forensic psychology or social policy.
