Our BSc in Criminology and Psychology will give you expert scientific training in the relationship between the mind, brain, and behaviour, together with an in-depth understanding of criminal justice theory and the links between these two areas. You will study the psychological and neuro-scientific processes that underpin activities such as thinking, reasoning, memory, and language, learn about the effects of brain injury, and explore ways to improve health-related behaviour. You will gain a detailed knowledge and understanding of the most influential theories of crime and deviance and their relevance to contemporary criminal justice policy, research, and practice. Throughout your studies, you will develop excellent research, critical analysis, communication skills, and a high degree of numeracy and ICT ability.
