Join us to discover the science behind how we think, feel and behave. You will work with experienced lecturers and applied psychologists in our supportive learning community that puts your future first. 

Criminology with Psychology

Criminology has never been concerned solely with crime. Criminologists have always wanted to define the nature of crime and understand the criminal mind. Although you learn a lot about both criminology and psychology on our joint honours programme, the unique value of its interdisciplinary approach is that it provides deeper insights into criminal behaviour. 

Forensic Investigative Psychology

Are you intrigued by the human mind? Are you keen to learn how psychologists can use scientific research methods to contribute to the investigative process of the police and the wider criminal justice system? Within our popular Forensic Investigative Psychology degree, you will explore topics such as eyewitness memory, mental disorder in crime and juror decision making. 

Psychology and Child Development

Have a passion for working with children? Curious about how they learn and develop? Discover the fascinating science behind how children think, feel and behave. You will join an active, supportive and inclusive community of students and staff and learn from experts, passionate about their specialism. Our degree equips you with the knowledge and skills to study the mind and behaviour of children and prepares you for a fulfilling and meaningful career.

Psychology with Criminology

Are you fascinated by the relationship between the human mind, crime and the criminal justice system? Want to study not only offender profiling, investigative interviewing and deception, but also the causes of crime and its impact on society? Want to obtain the research skills necessary to explore these topics ethically and rigorously? We can offer you all of this in Psychology with Criminology.

Sport and Exercise Psychology
