BA (Hons) Criminology with Psychology with Placement Year

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.
