Together we will explore ideas of criminality, deviance, and psychopathology; cover different aspects of psychology such as biological, cognitive, developmental and social psychology; and consider the social impact of deviance in youth. 

The course delves into social aspects of criminology and psychology and takes you and journey through key texts and thinkers on human behaviour, including deviant behaviour and attitudes towards deviance over time. 

You will learn about a range of themes from criminology including victimology, cybercrime, terrorism and extremism, sex crimes and the role of the media in portraying crime, terrorism, and deviance.

As you progress through the degree, we will work together to develop your academic and personal skills including research, critical thinking, time management, teamwork and self-confidence in discussing challenging and – at times – controversial issues.
