Description:

Criminology with Psychology brings together the study of crime and the science of the mind to better understand how crime impacts on individuals and society. Drawing on a range of other disciplines including sociology, law and philosophy, you will explore the theories, policies, processes and relationships that influence attitudes, beliefs and behaviour. You will also develop a range of skills that enhance your employability, such as critical thinking and data interpretation, how to evaluate evidence and write reports, presenting reasoned arguments and making ethical judgments.

In the first year, you will study both subjects on an equal basis before majoring. BSc(Hons) Criminology with Psychology at UWE Bristol provides a deep understanding of crime, criminal justice, offenders and victims,allowing you to apply theories and research to real-world contemporary issues. Supported by inspirational staff who are leading practitioners and active researchers, our course provides the opportunity to explore criminology from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
