Overview

Working in fields like local government, youth services, criminal and social justice, our BA Criminology with Psychology course offers a challenging and fulfilling career.


Why study Criminology with Psychology with us

Criminology degrees have risen in popularity in recent years and by choosing to study for a BA Criminology with Psychology with us, you’ll be choosing an established programme from a department that’s been running for over 30 years. All our lecturers are actively involved in research, which informs their teaching.This course helps you to make the connection between the wider criminal justice issues and how the individual psychology of subjects can play a part in it. You'll take general courses in both criminology and psychology, making you a specialist in both areas. While you dive deep into the criminal justice system and how and why people commit crimes, you'll also learn a variety of psychological theories including sports psychology, social psychology and more.We invite industry professionals, such as probation officers, clinicians and youth offending managers, to give guest lectures. This provides students with first-hand perspectives of the criminal justice and mental health systems.


Get the knowledge needed to succeed

BA Criminology with Psychology integrates the study of both disciplines on practical and theoretical levels so you can apply the skills and knowledge gained to the understanding of criminal behaviour. It’s a deeply fascinating intersection of subjects with plenty of real-world applications.The programme is specifically designed by academics who are active researchers in the Crime and Conflict Research Centre (CSCR), drawing on subject areas like youth crime, crime and deviance, plus many others.You'll have the option to extend the course by a year through a paid work placement (depending upon the context, either virtual or face-to-face) relevant to your studies in the third year to help you develop your areas of interest.We have excellent links with criminology-focused organisations in London, which means you’ll have access to prestigious placement opportunities throughout your studies. For example, previous graduates have gone on to intern with the Executive Directorate Police Services at Interpol, as well as working as an Operational Support Officer at HMP Bronzefield.


We provide support when you need it

During your course, you’ll get personalised support from your Personal Tutor, Student Learning Assistant, and Graduate Academic Assistant. Their first-hand experience in your subject area means they understand how to best support you.This course gives you the unique opportunity to make a positive impact in society, directly helping to improve communities and contributing to improving the lives of others.
