Your course
If you’re fascinated by psychology and crime, this course aims to give you a thorough grounding in both general psychology, and criminal psychology which could be applied to a wide range of situations and careers. On the course you’ll gain an invaluable insight into what makes people behave the way they do, and why they choose to take part in criminal activity. Taking a hands-on approach you’ll explore how psychological theories apply in the real world, and relate to the actions people take in life. You’ll also look at criminal behaviour, and weigh up the different theories about the causes of crime.
From parenting to society, peer pressure and genetics, you’ll investigate the potential triggers and assess their importance, giving you an insight into how psychology is used within the criminal justice system.

“I really enjoyed my course. The lectures were really interesting and led me to think about what I wanted to study in the future and careers that I hadn’t previously considered. I was also inspired to conduct research on things I’ve found a passion for. I also really enjoyed undertaking my final year project. I was passionate about my chosen topic and it was rewarding to look at the final product of what a year of my hard work had produced.”
