BA (Hons) Criminology and Psychology

This course combines the study of crime, justice, and criminal behaviour with the science of psychology, offering a deep understanding of why people commit crimes and how society responds. You will explore criminological theories, criminal justice systems, and sociological perspectives, alongside psychological concepts such as cognitive processes, behavioural analysis, and mental health. The course examines topics like criminal profiling, the psychology of offending, rehabilitation strategies, and the impact of crime on victims and communities. Through practical research projects, case studies, and real-world scenarios, you will develop analytical, investigative, and communication skills essential for working in criminal justice, law enforcement, or psychology-related fields.
