Our modular study approach gives you the flexibility to complete your qualification at a pace that fits around your life. Whether you prefer a fast track or want to work at a slower rate, you can tailor your study plan to suit your needs.
Stage 1 (120 credits)
In Stage 1, you'll study a wide range of social science issues and topics, including the themes of crime, justice and power and their role in shaping how criminological topics are defined and understood. You’ll also study how psychologists investigate thinking and behaviour, including topics such as the role of conformity in obedience and how juries make decisions.
Stage 2 (120 credits)
In Stage 2, you'll learn how psychologists have studied both practical and theoretical issues, such as nationalism and sexuality, with a particular emphasis on understanding and solving problems that directly affect people’s lives. You'll also explore ways in which criminology seeks to explain problems of crime and understand the role of criminal justice and experiences of victimisation.
Stage 3 (120 credits)
You’ll complete your degree by exploring the fascinating relationship between counselling and forensic psychology as well as crime and harm in both global and local contexts, and in particular, the role of states in shaping understandings of, and responses to, crime and harm.
