Criminology and Psychology

University of Surrey

What you will study: On our Criminology and Psychology degree content is evenly split between criminology and psychology modules to give you a solid foundation in both disciplines. Criminology modules will focus on the study of crime, deviance and the criminal justice system, including the cause and effect of criminal actions, policing and regulation of public order, and the relationship between behaviours and punishments. The psychology modules will provide psychological literacy in the core areas of psychology including developmental, cognitive, biological and social psychology, and psychopathology. You will also study modules that develop your research skills and your professional skills. Through combining teaching in core areas of criminology and psychology with training in professional social research, you’ll graduate with a broad range of communication, analytical and organisational skills – and the confidence to apply them in your future career. As you progress through your studies, you will be able to select from a range of optional modules to specialise and delve deeper into your areas of interest in both criminology and psychology.
