Overview
Criminology with Criminal Psychology at Kent asks the big questions: Why do people commit crime? How should society respond? And how can psychology help us understand criminal behaviour? From day one, you’ll study criminology and psychology together. You’ll get hands-on with real cases while building the core knowledge and research skills you need. As you move through the course, you’ll explore issues like cybercrime, violence, prisons and policing, alongside the psychology of criminal behaviour. In your final year, you’ll bring it all together in a unique module that connects criminology and psychology, and you’ll have the chance to choose your own path with options ranging from forensic psychology to criminology-focused research. You won’t just learn in the classroom. You’ll work with expert researchers, take part in case-based projects with partner organisations, and even get involved in the UK’s first Restorative Justice Clinic – where students deliver real-world interventions. By the time you graduate, you’ll have the knowledge, skills and confidence to step into a wide range of careers – from the criminal justice system and psychological services to policy-making and the charity sector.
