This new Psychology and Criminology BSc will equip you with a strong understanding of theory, research, and practice in core areas of psychology and criminology. You’ll learn how the disciplines interrelate and how they are applied in real-world contexts to challenge issues like crime prevention, mental health and their impacts on the criminal justice system. During your psychology and criminology degree, you’ll benefit from the research and expertise of the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), which is one of the world’s leading centres for interdisciplinary research in psychiatry and psychology, and the Dickson Poon School of Law (DPSoL), which is one of the oldest law schools in England and recognised as one of the best in the world. Our BSc in psychology and criminology is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as providing a graduate basis for chartered membership of the society (GBC). This is the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist and an essential step for undertaking further professional training in psychology in areas such as clinical psychology.
