Course Overview

The study of Psychology with Criminology provides the perfect combination of skills to interpret human behavior, investigate motivation and mental processes and then apply what you have learned in a criminal context. Only by getting into the mind of a criminal, can you begin to understand what causes a person to commit a crime. Taught by research-active academics in modern facilities, you will explore a range of psychology and criminology modules including contemporary policing and crime and punishment. You will also have the opportunity to analyze global issues, from the point of view of both offender and victim. Teaching content is delivered across Northumbria's Health and Life Sciences and Arts, Design and Social Sciences faculties, opening doors to both Psychology and Criminology career paths. A final year research project can be tailored towards your interests and career aspirations and you will graduate with the knowledge and skills needed for a career in research, education, or psychology, or within the criminal justice system.
