Course summary
Please note that this course is currently undergoing validation and therefore could be subject to change. The Level 4 Certificate in Psychology and Criminology offers an excellent grounding in two broad and related disciplines. This new course provides you with the understanding of how individuals are shaped by biology and social settings, and you will be able to articulate this within the context of crime and societal change. In psychology, you will study processes underpinning thinking, reasoning, and social interactions. In criminology, you will learn about the role of criminal justice theory, theories of crime and how these relate to policy and practice. You will have access to global exchange and volunteering opportunities throughout your studies to enhance your CV and maximise your career prospects. You will also have access to a suite of facilities and labs at our partner, Cardiff Metropolitan University including a Tobii eye tracker, Biosemi EEG, and Crime House.
Modules
Year One Modules: Foundations of Criminological Theory, Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology, Fundamentals of Cognition, Biopsychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, Conducting and Communicating Research, Exploring the Criminal Justice System.
Assessment method
The undergraduate degree programme provides a range of assessment, with the aim of inclusivity at its heart. Assessments are designed to provide authentic experiences for the students to demonstrate the real-world competencies they would be required to use in professional contexts. The assessments are completed on either an individual or group basis. Modules have integrated assessments: critical essays, exhibitions, portfolios and live scenarios. These all focus on developing students’ knowledge, understanding and skills, to demonstrate their ability to match the real-world competencies. Students are given the submission dates for assessments at the start of each module, as well as an assessment schedule for the whole of the academic year to help them plan and manage their time effectively. Students receive individual feedback on their work that identifies strengths and areas for improvement
