Course summary

Northumbria University's Psychology with Criminology degree provides the perfect combination of skills to interpret human behaviour, investigate motivation and the causes of crime and victimisation, and the ways in which societies respond to crime.

Taught by research-active academics in modern facilities, you will develop an understanding of the theories behind the ways we think and behave, examining a wide range of domains within psychology and explore a range of psychology and criminology modules including contemporary issues in criminality and the criminal justice system. You will also have the opportunity to analyse global issues, from the point of view of both offender and victim. Teaching content is delivered across Northumbria's Health and Life Sciences and Arts, Design and Social Sciences faculties, opening doors to both Psychology and Criminology career paths.

A final year research project can be tailored towards your interests and careers aspirations and you will graduate with the knowledge and skills needed for a career in research, education or psychology, or within the criminal justice system.

How does Psychology and Criminology at Northumbria University help with employability?

Exploring the application of psychology and criminology to the real world, you will develop core transferable skills such as communication, independent learning, reflection, problem solving and awareness of ethics that are essential in the psychology sector.

You will be able to tailor the subject of your final year research project to suit your career aspirations and build key skills in time and project management, communicating with a range of audiences, ethical awareness, and data analysis which, again, are valuable to employers.

How will studying at Northumbria prepare you for the future?

The Psychology and Criminology degree at Northumbria is designed to not only develop your understanding of psychology and criminology but also your valuable self-development skills such as critical thinking, communication, problem-solving, interpersonal skills and teamwork. You will graduate with practical experience, analytical and research skills along with the confidence and independent learning ability that will stand you in good stead for a variety of careers.

With the opportunity to apply for Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society (BPS) you can take your first steps to becoming a Chartered Psychologist and follow a career path into research, education or specialisms in psychology, and with the option to work in the criminal justice system.
