BA (Hons) Criminology and Psychology

By combining the study of criminology and psychology, you’ll explore contrasting and complementary perspectives of these two subjects.

We’ve designed this course to allow you some freedom of choice when it comes to choosing your modules – so you’ll be able to explore topics that complement one another. For example, you might examine forensic psychology to understand what motivates people to carry out criminal behavior in Psychology, alongside the relationships between crime and place in Criminology.

In your final year, an optional dissertation will give you the chance to independently research your specific areas of interest across both fields of study, with the support and guidance of your tutors.
