Course summary

This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society and has a strong practical focus that will build your professional skills, enhance your CV and get you noticed by employers.

Why study psychology with criminology?
By studying crime, along with a deep insight into human thought, action and behaviour, we can get a better understanding of how crime impacts individuals and society.

Blending the benefits of a scientific approach, with the ability to think creatively, these disciplines develop skills that will put you in a strong position for progressing in a broad variety of careers.

Why study at UWE Bristol?
BSc(Hons) Psychology with Criminology is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), so if you major in psychology you'll get the Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with your degree. That's the initial recognised standard you need to become a practising psychologist.

Built around the core BPS curriculum, the course will help you apply academic knowledge to real-world situations learning from internationally-recognised researchers and practitioners.

You'll study advanced psychological methods and gain valuable transferable skills, becoming a strong communicator and problem solver.

Hands-on experience with contemporary topics and approaches in practical sessions will deepen your knowledge further.

You'll be mentored by a personal tutor, take part in research projects and complete an independent research project in an area of interest in your final year.

Where can it take me?
The course will equip you with the strong transferable skills employers are looking for.

You could work in healthcare, law enforcement, finance, IT, research, government, education, the creative industries or the legal sector.
