BSc Criminology and Criminal Psychology
This interdisciplinary programme aims to develop in students an understanding of the relationship that exists between Criminology and Psychology and the way in which these two distinct disciplines interact and complement each other. Both Criminology and Psychology are interested in crime, criminal behaviour and criminality. The degree therefore seeks to build on this already existing relationship and offer a programme that acknowledges the evolving nature of the subject area and the theoretical developments that ensue. Reflecting rapid social change and the increasing cross fertilsation of ideas and methods that exist between the two disciplines, the programme and the courses within it offers students a unique educational opportunity.
In addition to extending our existing portfolio of undergraduate programmes in the field of Criminology, BSc Criminology and Criminal Psychology also offers students the opportunity of taking a one year Post Graduate Diploma within the Department of Psychology and Counselling, thereby achieving British Psychological (BPS) recognition.
