Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Criminology and Psychology

At Chester, they explore the relationship between criminological theories and criminal justice policies and practices. Students will gain extensive understanding of the technical aspects of the criminal justice process, and also learn about the way that criminology can help us examine the various 'harms' and 'crimes' that occur domestically and internationally.

Through wide-ranging backgrounds and expertise, and in ensuring a rich interdisciplinary approach at Chester, they work to expand students' criminological and victimological imagination. They encourage students to engage in independent learning and thought, and we equip you with the skills needed to find, retrieve and analyse an array of materials.

Across the Department they have an emphasis on being student centred. This includes students being assigned a Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) and highlighted drop-in times for students to visit lecturers.

A Psychology degree from Chester will equip students with a broad range of employability skills alongside their Psychology content, including literacy, numeracy, critical appraisal, data handling, communication, and logical problem-solving skills.
