Criminology with Psychology BA (Hons)

Crime, its manifestations, causes and consequences are a concern worldwide. There’s a global need for real-world understanding of crime, criminals and punishment.

On this course, you’ll explore crime and deviance from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining criminological and psychological perspectives. You’ll study:

• the wider social and structural issues associated with crime
• the ‘inner’ psychological workings of people.

In your final-year project, you’ll learn to formulate criminological and/or psychological questions, plan how to answer them and conduct your own research.

Our research underpins our teaching. You’ll learn from faculty actively involved in research into areas including:

• (violent) extremism, online extremism/terrorism and counter-terrorism policy
• hate crime policy, gender/disability and victimisation
• women who kill, gender and crime, race and crime
• capital punishment, cultural and historical criminology.

As a graduate, you’ll have critical thinking, research methods (for example, interviews and document analysis) and quantitative methods (for example, large survey design) skills for a wide range of careers.
