NEW for Academic Year 25/26This
course, validated by Sheffield Hallam University, enables you to gain a
criminological and psychological perspective on the causes and consequences of
crime, the criminal justice system, and ways of treating and managing offenders.
By studying both criminology and psychology, you’ll gain a broad,
multi-disciplinary understanding of criminological and psychological theory, and
how to apply this knowledge to real-life experiences, human behaviour and
workplaces.
You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the key theories, debates and perspectives relevant to the study of criminology and psychology. These involve a modern understanding of criminal justice and mental health systems and the current challenges they face – such as policing, probation prison practice, gendered violence, power and harm, trauma, and forensic psychology.
Our staff bring a wealth of knowledge and skills from professional practice across the criminal justice and psychological sectors. This results in our teaching providing a 'real-world' curriculum, emphasising key transferable skills that enhance your prospects for future graduate employment or further study opportunities.
