Course Overview

Taking a vocational and practical perspective, this Foundation Degree gives you a firm understanding of both general and criminal psychology, and how it can be applied to human behaviour, offending and society's response to offenders.

The course provides you with a critical overview of both the well-established and emerging theories, concepts and debates, as well as exploring research methods and findings.
