Criminology and Psychology BA (Hons)

By combining the study of criminology and psychology, you will explore contrasting and complementary perspectives of these two subjects. This course has been designed to allow you some flexibility in choosing your modules so that you can explore topics that complement one another. For example, you may choose to examine forensic psychology in Psychology to understand the motivation behind criminal behavior, alongside the relationship between crime and place in Criminology.

In your final year, you will have the option to undertake an independent research project across both fields of study, focusing on your specific areas of interest with the support and guidance of your tutors. Please note that while this criminology and psychology degree does not confer eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS), which is the first step towards becoming a chartered psychologist, you may study a slightly higher number of psychology modules to gain this accreditation in our BSc (Hons) Psychology & Criminology degree.
