Psychology, Criminology and Law
Psychology, Criminology and Law is a programme where you’ll undertake three different but overlapping subjects and is a great alternative to A Levels for those considering university, who are unsure of which subject or career to pursue. You’ll study the theories of crime, the practice of a solicitor and the different psychological perspectives.
Department Overview
By selecting this course, you’ll develop an understanding of why people commit crime, whether nature or nurture influences people’s choices, what happens during a criminal investigation and the processes involved when a person has been arrested and taken to court. You’ll have the opportunity to visit law courts and engage with a variety of professionals from the criminal justice system. The course will be assessed through a mixture of internally set and assessed assignments and externally set examinations.
Progression
Successful completion of the course will provide you with UCAS points to progress to university. Possible degree routes could include criminology, psychology, law and sociology. Alternatively, the qualification allows you to gain the required understanding and skills to be able to consider employment or apprenticeships within the criminal justice system, for example, the National Probation Service, the Courts and Tribunals Service or the National Offender Management Service. The staff teaching on the course are experts in each of their respective fields, bringing considerable expertise and insight across the wide-ranging topics you’ll cover.
