Programme structure

Examples of formative activities include essays, research proposals, semi-formal debates, individual group presentations, multiple choice questionnaires, quizzes, online forums and mock exams. We also offer scheduled one-to-one meetings and office hours for more detailed feedback if required. The formative activities will help you complete your summative assessments with a clear focus and confidently.

You will look at how the core specialised areas of psychology and criminology will contribute to the understanding of important contemporary issues, as well as looking at how the two disciplines can explain the interaction of humans in the social world.

Practice-based and enquiry-led in nature, our course will expose you to a range of learning activities that offer you opportunities to apply scientific theory and research to contemporary phenomena. This will not only enable you to understand how people respond in varying situations, but will also encourage you to challenge misconceptions about human behaviour and society.

During your criminology modules you will question how criminology explores and questions why people commit crimes, how the society we live in perceives and treats criminals and victims of crime, and the people in charge of the criminal justice system in a global context.
