Course Overview

Criminal psychology draws in elements from psychology, criminology and criminal justice, with the aim of studying offenders and offending behaviour, to improve the effectiveness of criminal investigations. In this course, you'll get to analyse the criminal justice system with a view to improving outcomes, understanding complex behaviours like police interviewing, and detecting deception, as well as gaining further expertise in courtroom psychology and jury decision making.

You'll also learn how to improve criminal investigations by adding a psychological component such as offender profiling and look at issues like offender rehabilitation, and the links between offending behaviour and mental health.

This course can be studied either full or part-time, either on campus or through distance learning.

You'll study in our Institute of Criminal Justice Studies and learn from our team of criminal psychology specialists, so that when you graduate, you'll have the skills you need for a career as a criminal psychologist, working with offenders, working with victims or within law enforcement agencies.

This course is not accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
