Psychology and Criminology (with integrated year in industry)

About this course

Psychology and criminology is a pairing that gives you complementary perspectives on one of the central questions in social science: why do people commit crime and how do societies respond? Psychology examines the individual, asking how brain, mind, and behaviour interact, how personality develops, how cognitive processes shape decision-making, and what psychological factors are associated with criminal behaviour. Criminology situates these individual factors within broader social, cultural, and structural contexts, examining how crime is defined and measured, how criminal justice systems operate, and what the sociocultural repercussions of crime and punishment are for individuals and communities. At Aberystwyth University, this four-year full-time programme with an integrated year in industry gives you the opportunity to apply your learning directly in a professional setting before you
