Course summary

Our extended degree in criminology and criminal psychology starts with a foundation year to prepare you for degree-level learning. You will then study the same modules as our three-year course. This course is aimed at anyone interested in crime, psychology and the criminal justice system. You will get an introduction to criminology and criminal psychology and explore issues such as offender profiling, stalking psychopathology, gender, race and discrimination, crime scene investigation and terrorism. You can also undertake a work placement to practise your learning and skills. Our criminology graduates have pursued careers in policy, research, policing, social care and welfare, and organisations such as HM Revenue and Customs. What you should know about this course

Modules

All degree courses are made up of modules – individual units of study on different topics. Some modules are compulsory; others can be chosen from a list of options. Our website has full details of your degree structures, module content, and how each module is assessed. The direct link to this course on our website, can be found at the bottom of this page.

Assessment method

Students are assessed through a combination of assessment methods depending on the modules chosen. You can view how each module is assessed within our 'What you will study' section. Each course has formal assessments which count towards your grade. Some courses may also include 'practice' assignments, which help you monitor progress and do not count towards your final grade.
