Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: L3C8
Here's what Bangor University says about its Criminology and Psychology course.
Are you curious about why people behave the way they do? Want to understand what drives criminal behaviour and how society responds to it?
Our dynamic degree brings together the study of Criminology and Psychology, giving you the opportunity to study human behaviour and the systems designed to manage crime and justice.
You’ll examine how the body and the brain work together, how experiences shape our behaviour and how we interpret and make sense of the world around us. At the same time, you’ll be gaining practical knowledge and understanding of how the criminal justice system works. From the police and the prison system to rehabilitation and victim support you’ll gain an appreciation of the challenges associated with the management and treatment of offenders.
Throughout your studies, you’ll learn from experts whose research is shaping real-world policy and practice. You’ll explore strategies for supporting victims, managing offenders, and protecting vulnerable groups, developing a skillset that’s highly valued across sectors.
Your skillset will be of use to any organisation where understanding people matters. Opening a wide range of careers in the police, prison, probation, security or youth offending services, child protection, local or national government, NGOs, charities and more.
‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.
If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you. Please see Sociology (with Foundation Year) L30F.

Bangor University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
