Course summary

Our BSc (Hons) Psychology and Criminology will allow you to engage with both the psychological sciences and the field of criminology and help you to explore their application to a variety of contemporary challenges.

The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), who have highlighted areas of particular strength in our course, including the emphasis on research-led teaching, our modules for developing employability skills, and the wide range of discipline-specific opportunities, placements and internships that are available for students at the world-leading Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN).

The BSc degree is available as a 3-year option or a 4-year option (with placement year or study-abroad year). The admissions criteria are identical for the 3-year and 4-year BSc programmes. You will have the opportunity to apply to the 4-year programmes in your second year of study, should you wish. If you are a Home student it does not matter which UCAS code you apply through, and please only apply to one. The different course codes are useful for those of you who are applying from overseas. If you have international fee status and think you might want to stay for 4-years, please use a 4-year code so that you have the correct visa from the start of your degree.

Assessment methods depend on the modules you will be studying. The primary methods of assessment for this course are written coursework, presentations (both individual and group), examinations, case reports, quizzes, and practical assessments. Many assessments will also be ‘authentic’, meaning that they will mirror real-world tasks that psychologists and criminologists undertake as part of their work, in order to help prepare you for employment in these fields. The study time and assessment methods listed here give an indication of what to expect. However, these will vary depending upon the optional modules you select.
