Duration: 3 years full-time, 4 years sandwich or study abroad. Psychology is the study of approaches that explain people’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Criminology is the study of why certain behaviours are criminalised and what predicts these behaviours. This course draws from both disciplines to further your understanding of crime and criminals.

Many of our graduates go on to work as Psychologists but also go on to become researchers, lecturers, teachers, administrators, practitioners, managers, or health and care professionals. The course has been designed to equip students with a range of skills and competencies that will set you apart from other graduates and make you attractive to potential employers. Our tutorial system focuses on the development of skills such as group work, literature reviewing, critical analysis and being able to construct and deliver presentations. There is also the opportunity to undergo a sandwich course over four years with one year out on work placement. All placement opportunities are supported by staff members from the Employability Placement Unit who are specialists in identifying suitable opportunities and have links with various external organisations.
