This programme combines the study of psychology and human behaviour with a deeper understanding of the causes of crime, the sociology of crime and the criminal justice system. Equal weight is given to the two subjects. During the course you'll be introduced to psychology and criminology theories with a focus on the social psychology of crime.

• Dedicated psychology lab spaces, crime scene house and specialist staff experienced in criminal behavioural analysis.
• Apply criminological and psychological tools to aid in any type of investigations, for example insurance, fire, or crime scene investigations.
• Links into the relevant local networks enable you to develop experience, and network for your future career.

You might go into further study to specialise within this area, for example to become a chartered psychologist or a lawyer. You might also be interested in joining the police or working in other parts of the criminal justice system.
