Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: L3CY
Here's what University of South Wales says about its Criminology with Psychology course.
Criminology and psychology inhabit a rapidly changing world and through this course you will study not one, but two topical, challenging and fascinating disciplines. Covering two distinct and yet complementary areas of study, this major minor Criminology with Psychology degree allows you to study the fundamental elements of each discipline.
Not only will you be able to gain an advanced understanding of crime and criminal justice systems, but you’ll be able to consider the psychology of crime in relation to such issues, making for a stimulating programme of study. The ability to combine two academic disciplines is also a great way of broadening your knowledge base and opening up opportunities for a wide range of interesting career options.

Uni's advice team is very hostile against students they regard you as their enemy and Uni's accommodation team is careless about the problems within the halls including dirty blocks and issues among students inside the blocks

Library did a lot to me this academic year for both borrowing books or using it as place to study in. there one thing I am not happy with is the food being served in canteen, too small portion and too expensive. All other facilities are good.

University of South Wales 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.
