Course Overview

One of the aims of this course is to give you the skills to gather, analyse and evaluate data about people’s behaviour and thoughts. In understanding how crime is dealt with, you’ll draw on disciplines such as social policy, sociology, psychology and law.

You'll benefit from the latest psychology facilities. Electroencephalography (EEG) equipment for measuring brain activity. A brain stimulation lab. An eye-tracking laboratory. And a baby lab.

Put what you learn into practice in our replica crime scene facility right here on campus. A recent addition to the University, it provides detailed and realistic crime scenes for you to explore. Get hands on: collect evidence, explore criminal activity, and see the world of forensic science brought to life.

Thanks to our links with criminal justice agencies, you’ll get to develop your learning through work placements and experience-enhancing visits.

You can also study for a semester in countries like the Netherlands (Saxion University), Norway (University of Bergen), Germany (Osnabrück University) and Hungary (Eötvös Loránd University).
