Criminology and Criminal Psychology

About this programme

Explore crime, justice and human behaviour through a degree that blends criminology, criminal psychology and career-focused learning. Why do people commit crime, and how does society respond? Our BSc Hons Criminology and Criminal Psychology degree brings together two fascinating disciplines to help you understand offending behaviour, criminal justice systems and the social issues that shape them. You’ll explore topics such as offender profiling, policing, prisons and punishment, psychopathology, violence, and the impact of gender, race and discrimination on crime and justice. By combining criminological and psychological perspectives, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of both behaviour and wider social responses to crime. You’ll study in London on our Greenwich Campus.

Their teaching is informed by the latest research and professional practice, giving you valuable insights into the realities of the criminal justice sector. The course develops valuable skills in research, analysis, communication and problem-solving that are sought after by employers across many sectors. Graduates have gone on to careers across policing, probation, prisons, forensic services, social care, policy, research and the wider public sector.
