BSc(Hons) Psychology with Criminology is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), so if students major in psychology they'll get the Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with their degree. That's the initial recognized standard students need to become a practicing psychologist.
Built around the core BPS curriculum, the course will help students apply academic knowledge to real-world situations learning from internationally-recognised researchers and practitioners. Students will 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 students' knowledge further. They'll be mentored by a personal tutor, take part in research projects and complete an independent research project in an area of interest in the final year.
The course will equip students with the strong transferable skills employers are looking for. They could work in healthcare, law enforcement, finance, IT, research, government, education, the creative industries or the legal sector.
