Welcome…

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the University of Southampton and the BSc Criminology and Psychology programme.

 This is the Undergraduate Handbook for students studying the BSc in Criminology and Psychology who started in 2016/17 or after. If you started your degree in 2015/2016 or before, please click here for the appropriate handbook.
 

This is your Undergraduate Handbook for the BSc in Criminology and Psychology. The information contained in the handbook has been designed to complement the information provided in the Social Sciences Undergraduate Handbook and your Module Course pages on Blackboard (your staff-student portal). It aims to provide you with key information relating to your degree and your three years of study. It has been designed to give you an overview of the procedures, regulations and information sources that you will need to know. The programme is administered within Social Sciences: Sociology, Social Policy & Criminology (SSPC). However, the handbook reflects on the procedures and regulations in both SSPC and the School of Psychology. It is important that you familiarise yourself with the information that it contains and that you explore the contents of the handbook as a whole

Our aim is to promote Criminological Psychology as an interdisciplinary subject for research and practical application. As a student on the BSc Criminology and Psychology programme, you will combine the study of criminology with the study of psychology, explore and grasp the complementary nature of the two subjects (whose practitioners increasingly share ideas, approached and research interests), as well as the areas of conflict (where there are theoretical or methodological differences), and develop your interest in closely-related disciplines. We will provide you with the skills to research and analyse the complexities of criminal behaviour, the social responses to crime and the workings of the criminal justice system.

 

British Psychological Society (BPS) Accreditation
