Psychology is relevant in a multitude of sectors, but this course concentrates on one of its most interesting applications: criminal behaviour. This is one of very few courses nationwide covering criminal psychology in such depth at undergraduate level. The unique programme will help to qualify you for fascinating career opportunities in the police, prison service, social services, mental health sector and more.

The course combines a theoretical and skills-oriented approach to the study of criminal psychology. You will receive a broad introduction to psychology in general and more specific criminal psychology questions like why individuals offend, who offends and who is most likely to be a victim. You will also study the relationship between psychology and the criminal justice system, exploring areas such as police investigation, false confessions, expert witnesses, jury behaviour and treatment of complex offenders. The skills you acquire as you progress through the course will then enable you to complete an independent research project in your own area of interest in the final year.
 
You will be supported in your learning and research by lecturers who are 'international experts from a range of psychology backgrounds.' They are friendly and encouraging, and student feedback on the course consistently highlights the teachers' brilliant response time to their questions and concerns.
 
During this course you will:
  • Examine criminal behaviour from a broad range of psychological perspectives
  • Follow an exciting curriculum that incorporates staff research expertise
  • Gain plenty of practical experience
  • Benefit from access to excellent teaching and research facilities exclusive to psychology students
  • Work collaboratively with staff on research projects and present outcomes at prestigious conferences
  • Complete an independent research project in your own area of interest
