Criminology and Criminal Psychology (Extended)

About this programme

Our extended degree in criminology and criminal psychology starts with a foundation year to prepare you for degree-level learning. You will then study the same modules as our three-year course. This course is aimed at anyone interested in crime, psychology and the criminal justice system. You will get an introduction to criminology and criminal psychology and explore issues such as offender profiling, stalking psychopathology, gender, race and discrimination, crime scene investigation and terrorism. You can also undertake a work placement to practise your learning and skills. Our criminology graduates have pursued careers in policy, research, policing, social care and welfare, and organisations such as HM Revenue and Customs. We continually review our modules to ensure they meet the evolving needs of students, employers, and professional bodies. We are currently reviewing the year 3 (level 6) modules for this programme; therefore, options may be subject to change. You will be taught by an experienced team which includes academics and practitioners who are active researchers and use this research to inform their teaching. Where appropriate, you may also have guest talks given by criminal justice professionals. Teaching is informed by our research and consultancy work, and more than 90 per cent of our lecturers hold a teaching qualification. We are offering virtual events so you can still experience how Greenwich could be the right university for you.
