– There’s the opportunity for work-based practice, which will increase your employability after you graduate.
**About this course**
On this course, you’ll evaluate many of society’s current issues and learn how psychology and criminology can raise questions and find answers.
You’ll explore key theories and ideas of psychological science and criminology. You’ll gain a deeper insight into the human mind and behaviour, develop an understanding of how we behave, think and interact, and study how we respond to crime, criminal behaviour and victimisation. You’ll find out why individuals offend, how their crimes affect society and how the criminal justice system operates.
Throughout the degree, you’ll develop skills valued by employers, such as teamwork, communication, time and task management skills, statistical analysis of data, problem-solving and the ability to critically evaluate evidence.
