What causes criminal behaviour? How does psychology inform our understandings of crime, criminality, and criminal justice? This degree will equip you with a comprehensive understanding of the basics of criminology, and explores how psychology can be applied to the criminal justice system and the law. Our Criminology with Forensic Psychology BSc offers an exciting opportunity to study fundamental criminological theory and concepts, and allows you to gain a detailed understanding of the role of forensic psychology in both research and practice. You will study Introduction to Forensic Psychology in the first year, alongside three other core modules, which focus on theories of crime, criminal justice, and victims of crime. The first year of the degree gives you the foundational knowledge and academic skills that you need to progress into the second and final years.
