Course summary

This undergraduate Psychology BSc(Hons) degree is designed to give you a thorough grounding in both general psychology and criminal psychology, which could be applied to a wide range of situations and careers once you graduate. We’ll also help you gain an invaluable insight into what makes people behave the way they do and why they choose to take part in criminal activity. Psychology is the science of mind and behaviour. On this course, we’ll give you the opportunity to explore how psychological theory relates to the actions people take in life. You'll look at criminal behaviour and weigh up the different theories about the causes of crime – from parenting to society, peer pressure and genetics. You’ll look at how theories apply in the real-world, to gain crucial insights into how psychology is used within the criminal justice system.
