Program Overview

Are you fascinated by the workings of the human mind and the complexities of criminal behaviour in society? Are you curious about understanding what ‘makes a murderer’? Do you wish to develop the analytical expertise to go beyond the depictions of crime that are shown on contemporary streaming services such as Netflix?

In addressing these issues, our interdisciplinary BA (Hons) Criminology and Psychology course offers a unique blend of two closely related academic fields, providing you with the knowledge and skills to make a real difference in society.

Our undergraduate degree – brand new to UWS and the only one of its kind offered by a Scottish university – will help you to develop expertise in criminology, psychology, and research methods so that you’re ready to work in related areas in criminal justice, policing and security agencies, prisons, third sector and community organisations. 

Our exciting degree includes topics such as: 

  • fundamentals of applied psychology
  • offender profiling
  • crime analysis
  • forensic psychology
  • victimology
  • criminal behaviour
  • criminological theory
  • policing
  • prisons
  • youth and gang violence
  • criminal careers

We work closely with experts and practitioners in criminal justice and psychology to provide a firm understanding of crime, justice, offending behaviours, and victimology in Scotland, the UK, Europe and internationally.

You will learn to examine data critically and develop analytical skills that you can take with you into many aspects of your life.
