School: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. This 3-year full-time Bachelor of Science (BSc) with Honours in Psychology and Criminology is a unique degree designed to equip students with an understanding of human motivation and behavior and apply that insight to legal and criminal contexts. The curriculum covers core areas of psychology, including cognitive, biological, social, and developmental psychology, along with conceptual and historical issues in psychology. It also delves into criminology, exploring the causes of crime, criminal justice matters, and critical perspectives on justice, such as controversies in criminal justice, criminological imagination, and the links between gender, race, power, and crime. This program is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), meaning that graduates who achieve at least a Lower Second Class Honours and pass the empirical project are eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), which is the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist in the UK. The course includes a work placement module and offers opportunities for educational visits to key partners in the criminal justice and forensic psychology areas, such as Magistrates' Courts, the Central Criminal Court, Broadmoor Hospital, and the Metropolitan Police. An optional additional year between Year 2 and 3 for a work placement or study abroad is also available.
Graduates with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and Criminology are highly employable due to their interdisciplinary knowledge of human behavior and the criminal justice system. The BPS accreditation provides a pathway to professional psychology careers (with further postgraduate study). Graduates are well-equipped for a range of careers in psychology, criminal justice, and policing, as well as related areas such as teaching or health and social care. Specific career choices may include: Assistant Psychologist, Probation Officer, Trainee Crime Analyst, Youth Offending Support Officer, roles in policing and crime analysis, prison services, the National Probation Service, the Home Office, Court Service, the NHS, victim support, and potentially Forensic or Clinical Psychology (with further postgraduate qualifications).
