Here's what University of Winchester says about its Psychology with Criminology course.
We are fascinated by crime. It pervades our daily news stories and television dramas, but its impact extends beyond an entertainment genre. Psychologists and criminologists work to understand the causes of crime, how it influences individuals, groups, and wider society, and provide evidence-based approaches to support those affected by crime. Studying Psychology with Criminology at Winchester opens a broad range of career opportunities. We focus on your future from the start and are committed to helping you find and work towards an exciting career. Our approach to your employability is personalised, successful, and unique to us.
Join us to discover the science behind how we think, feel and behave, and its applications to criminal behaviour and the justice system. You will work with experienced lecturers, applied psychologists and criminologists in our supportive learning community that puts your future first.
Why study Psychology with Criminology at Winchester
You will learn in a supportive environment with all your teaching provided by a friendly team of experienced lecturers and qualified applied psychologists and criminologists.
• We favour small group teaching and personal tutoring to help you build your academic confidence and transferable skills.
Your future is at the centre of everything we do. Our ‘Psychology Futures’ employability programme takes you on a transformative journey of self-development that will help you maximise the value of your degree and find a personally meaningful career.
• Developed by our Chartered Occupational Psychologist, our unique, award-winning employability programme is embedded throughout your degree and has been applauded nationally.
You will be joining a vibrant research community. Your lecturers are active researchers and experts in their field. Your course is designed to craft your research skills and you will have unlimited access to all our research labs and software.
• We have extensive research facilities. For example, our alcohol research lab is one of only eight in the world and we are helping police improve how they collect eyewitness testimonies from people under the influence.
Where your degree could take you
Our BSc (Hons) Psychology with Criminology is fully accredited by the British Psychological Society, so your degree could be the first step in your training as a chartered psychologist working in an applied field such as forensic, clinical, health, educational, or occupational psychology.

Social life is not very goodrnCourse is good and lecturers are helpful

They seem to care a lot about societies but the uni is also in massive debt so canu2019t afford to put much money into them. Lots of events held by the SU, I donu2019t go so unsure how much attention they get. The SU shop stocks a fair amount of food and drinks as well as uni clothing but again itu2...

One campus club which isnu2019t too bad but no where else to go for a club. Some bars and pubs in town but are expensive. Most students go to Southampton for clubbing nights.

A very expensive city coming from someone who lives in London when Iu2019m off of uni. Food on campus is expensive, drinks at the campus club are expensive, the town has nothing to do and very few shops tailored towards students (only Primark and maybe TKMaxx, now a new sports direct) so students te...

Never needed support in most aspects but I hadnu2019t heard great things about their mental health support from some people saying they can be quite dismissive so I went to my GP instead. Support from lecturers is easily accessible in the form of tutorials

Lots of different teaching buildings which are in pretty good shape. Two libraries stacked with books and a decent amount of space to sit. A few food places which arenu2019t too bad food wise but do like to bump up the price which, for a university of poor students, is just plain stupid. No sports f...

Students are talking about University of Winchester on The Student Room.
Hello!
My name is Jo and I am the official representative for the University of Winchester on The Student Room.
I have lived in Winchester for the previous 7 years, and have been working at the University since 2018. I have studied at undergraduate level, and have lots of experience to pass on from my time at university. Living in Winchester has been great so far. It is a beautiful, historic city that has great links to bigger cities such as London and Southampton. I am happy to help you with any questions you have about the University or life in Winchester (including the best sushi spots!).
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.
