Course summary
OVERVIEW Criminology with Psychology is more than just the study of crime; it is a commitment to understanding and challenging the social harms that affect our communities both locally and globally. We go beyond traditional criminology to explore the broader social, political, and cultural forces that shape our understanding of justice. By combining criminology with psychology, you will examine the impact of mental health on individuals, the power of positive psychology in overcoming trauma, and delve into the criminal mind through the lens of forensic psychology. Rooted in our city, the programme connects classroom learning with real-world impact. Through hands-on projects, community engagement, and research, you will actively contribute to shaping safer and more just societies. Through multidisciplinary study, you will develop the skills to become a critical thinker, an ethical practitioner, and an engaged global citizen, ready to tackle social harms ranging from inequality and exploitation to violence and victimisation. Whether you aspire to shape policy, support vulnerable communities, or work within the criminal justice system, this programme will turn your passion into purpose and support you in creating meaningful change.
