Criminology and Psychology BA
The BSc (Hons) Criminology and psychology course is ideal for students who want to understand the relationship between crime and social issues – such as mental health, ill health, poverty, and discrimination and develop an understanding of how the human mind works. In this program, coached by experts in the field, students will have the opportunity to understand and resolve the causes of a crime from a sociological and psychological perspective. The combination of criminology and psychology will give students expertise in both disciplines. Students will form them to critically analyse and evaluate the causes and effects of crimes and deviant human behaviour. Students will also learn about developmental, social and cognitive psychology, how people evolve through infancy, adolescence and adulthood, personal formation, social influences that affect behaviour and the development of perception and human thinking. Furthermore, the theory of criminological philosophy and the assumptions that underpin intervention and control, as well as the criminal justice system – including the police, courts and jails – will be studied and explored. At the same time, this course will give students a range of transferable and practical skills that will aid in law-related and other careers or further studies. Course Length: 3 years / 4 years including Foundation year; Foundation Year: Year 1: Year 2: Year 3: Assessment The course is assessed in terms of both theory and practice through assessments including practical implementations, reports, essays, presentations and examinations.
