The Criminology with Psychology BA Honours at Middlesex University is designed for students driven to understand the complex interplay between criminal behaviour and the human mind. You will explore foundational criminological theories and delve into core psychological concepts, equipping you to analyse societal issues and individual actions within the criminal justice system. This degree is ideal if you are curious about why people commit crimes, how society responds, and the psychological underpinnings of these phenomena. You will gain a robust academic grounding in both disciplines, preparing you for a variety of impactful career paths.
This full-time, on-campus undergraduate degree is studied over three years, with an optional industry placement year available between your second and third years. Throughout your studies, you will progressively apply theoretical knowledge to specific areas such as victimisation and gender, and deepen your understanding of psychological concepts. In your final year, you will refine your expertise at the intersection of forensics and psychology, choosing specialised modules and preparing for a significant dissertation or work-based project. You will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of criminal behaviour and psychological principles, ready for roles in law enforcement, social work, research, or further postgraduate study.
