Course summary

In our BSc (Hons) Forensic and Criminological Psychology course you will be given a firm grounding in key elements of psychology and investigate the theories and principles behind both forensic and criminological psychology, and how these are applied through the UK legal system. This hands-on course is delivered using the equipment and facilities in our outstanding £30m Science Centre, where you will build your expertise in laboratories and with cutting edge facilities like our cognitive research cubicles, observation labs, IT labs and psychophysiological equipment in out Psychology Human Sciences Suite. With Staffordshire University, you’ll be given opportunities to examine methods for collecting and analysing information, to provide the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills and receive feedback. Focused on future employability, our course will see you applying forensic and criminological techniques, such as the measurement of physiological responses in interview and video settings. You’ll also get the chance to complete a work placement as part of your studies, which is your opportunity to get real-world experiences in a professional sector, such as the prison service, health, victim support and more. What’s more, during the course you will get the opportunity to enrich your learning with digital development opportunities and begin to make networks with like-minded students and inspirational guest lectures.After completing the BSc (Hons) Forensic and Criminological Psychology course you will be ideally placed for further study at postgraduate level.Students on our psychology courses are supported to find voluntary positions in which they contribute to important roles within not-for-profit organisations, working to support people experiencing homelessness, mental health difficulties, and drugs and alcohol challenges.Students have volunteered for various organisations including Girlguiding UK, Oxfam, Change, Grow, Live (a children’s rights service) and Catch 22 (an organisation supporting victims of child sexual abuse and children missing from home). Many students have also engaged in voluntary work with education providers, supporting children and young people in schools and nurseries around Stoke-On-Trent and the surrounding areas.
