Course summary

Apply psychological theories to the study of crime and prepare for a rewarding career in the police, prison, or probation services.

This course is designed for those who want to gain an understanding of the psychology behind criminal behaviour.

You’ll be taught by expert staff that specialise in current criminological and psychological issues, including offender rehabilitation, cybercrime, criminal profiling, social justice, and the influence of media on crime.

At Worcester, you’ll gain real-world experience alongside your academic studies, preparing you for your future. You not only get to explore a range of career options – including the police, prison, and probation services – you also get to meet people working in these areas. You’ll graduate with the practical experience and professional links needed to begin a rewarding career in the criminal justice sector.

There are no exams on this course. Instead, you’ll be assessed through a range of applied methods - such as case reports, presentations, and offender profiles - designed to prepare you for the work you may be doing after you graduate.
