    City University London’s BSc program in Criminology and Psychology is fully BPS certified, and teaches you the core principles of both disciplines as well as giving you access to specialist modules which you can use to chart you own educational course. Depending on your choice of modules, you’ll be able to seek chartered membership in the BPS, which is key to establishing a practice in this field. Alternatively, many students explore MSc or PhD programs after graduation.

    You’ll study how to collect and appraise evidence, how to consider facts and opinions critically, and a wide range of technical skills that criminologists and psychologists use in da to day practice.

    This program incorporates an optional year in paid work placement or studying abroad. Either is an unbeatable opportunity to gain a broader knowledge base and an understanding of how the discipline can be applied in different situations. Both also look great on your CV.
