Course Overview

Criminology and Psychology provide complementary approaches to understanding crime, its causes, and its wider impact on society. Studying criminology at Worcester allows you to understand the current explanations for crime, victimization, and deviance. Psychology at Worcester offers opportunities to study many facets of the human psyche, including those that impact criminal behavior, and forensic or clinical psychology.

Graduates will gain a wide range of skills and knowledge that will attract employees from a variety of agencies and organizations in the criminal justice sector, whether public, private, or 3rd sector as well as health, business, counseling, forensics, education, and sport.

To help you prepare for your career, and maybe get a taste of different options, you’ll have plenty of work experience opportunities. We work closely with the university’s Careers and Employability team, arranging placements, both paid and voluntary, with many local and national organizations – including the NHS, Alive! Charity, the BPS, West Mercia Police Constabulary, Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, Worcestershire County Council, and HMP Aylesbury.

You can also take part in workshops devoted to CV writing, interview skills, recruitment, and assessment techniques. And you’ll have the chance to talk to guest speakers and visit potential employers – as well as get help to apply for work and postgraduate study.
