Year Three

The third year continues to broaden and deepen the level of intellectual challenge. In Year Three, you will further develop your understanding of the psychological and criminological responses to offending and the reactions to it. Modules allow you to build upon your understanding of the topics presented earlier in your degree.

In your third year, you must also choose a topic for a Literature Review (CRIM3010) and a Research Paper (CRIM3011), which make up an Empirical Project, and which you will complete under the supervision of a member of staff in SSPC. The Research Paper will be the culmination of your three years research training and will constitute a valuable piece of criminological psychology research, the best example of which will be presented a prize.

 

These pages will introduce you to:

  • Year Three modules (including important information about signing up to “optional” modules and BPS Accreditation) and the Empirical Project
  • The Psychology Academic Unit’s Research Participation Scheme in Year Three
  • Information on the criteria you need to meet to graduate and your options if you do not meet these criteria.
 

It is important to note that the marks you achieve in Year Three contribute towards TWO-THIRDS of your final degree classification and grade. However, you must meet the specified standards in order to be able to graduate and to attain BPS accreditation.
