Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: M9C8

Here's what Bristol, UWE says about its Criminology with Psychology course.

BSc(Hons) Criminology with Psychology is split equally between criminology and psychology, so you’ll study both before choosing which to major in. Supported by staff who are leading practitioners and active researchers, you’ll study specialist modules, and get a deep understanding of crime, criminal justice, offenders and victims.

Apply theories and the latest research to real, contemporary issues. Learn how to think critically, write reports, interpret data, formulate arguments, and make ethical judgements.

You’ll carry out your own research, hear from guest speakers, and take part in work-based learning through our links with organisations such as Bristol Young Offenders Scheme, Bristol Youth Education Service and the police. Activities such as volunteering, placements and internships will deepen your professional skills and knowledge further, to make you highly sought after when you graduate.

Criminology with psychology studies society in all its forms so it’s the ideal platform for many jobs. You could work in government, the police and prison services, the court services, the NHS, educational institutions, or non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working with young offenders or victims of crime.

You could also go into social welfare or the private sector, working in private security or law.
