Our BA (Hons) Criminology and Psychology with Foundation Year will provide you with professional scientific instruction in the relationship between the mind, brain, and behaviour, as well as a thorough understanding of criminal justice theory and the connections between these two fields. Our courses will teach you the study skills you need to succeed with your degree, as well as the ins and outs of criminology and psychology in the UK and around the world, so you can earn universal skills for your future. The “Criminology and Psychology” degree with Foundation Year can be well-suited for individuals interested in solving criminal cases. While the specific focus and curriculum may vary across universities, such a degree typically equips students with a multidisciplinary understanding of crime, criminal behaviour and the psychological factors that contribute to it. You'll receive hands-on experience with criminal justice systems as well as biological, social, and cognitive elements that influence behaviour at the individual and societal levels. The information and abilities gained from these subjects will prepare you well for a variety of vocations. We can gain a better understanding of how crime affects individuals and society by studying crime with the science of the mind.

Entry requirements

Fees & funding

Course fee per year: £9,250 The Tuition Fee of the course may vary depending on the institution you wish to study at, as well as your status in the UK. The course is available for UK/EU & International Students and eligible for Student Loans Company (SLC) funding to help cover the cost of your tuition fees and other expenses. If you are an UK/EU citizen or living in the UK on an Indefinite stay, apart from the tuition fees, you could also receive support from the government via Student Loans Company to cover some living costs while studying. The maintenance loan depends on each individual's circumstances.
Fees breakdown:
Tuition fee loans cover the full cost of your course and are paid directly to the course provider.
Student Finance has to be paid back, however, you only make Student Loan repayments once you've left your course AND are earning enough. Repayments vary with your salary, and stop altogether if your income drops too low.
Maintenance Loan pays for day-to-day living expenses like rent, bills, food and books. Unlike the fees loan, it's paid directly to your student bank account once a term and you can spend it on anything you like.
Students can also apply for other types of special support grants, such as childcare grants or Disabled Students' Allowance if eligible.
Moreover, almost all universities offer a selection of student bursaries. These are cash gifts you usually don't have to repay.
Please submit an enquiry to find out more or use our calculator to estimate how much Maintenance Loan you can get and how much you will have to repay per month once you finish your course.
