Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: LC3V

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. Alternatively, it could take you into a career in criminal justice, research, teaching, social work, marketing, human resources, or any job that involves working with other people.

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!).
