Criminology with Forensic Psychology

The course aims to equip you with the necessary skills to excel in a wide range of careers, such as:

• employment in posts working directly with offenders both in prison and within community-based reducing re-offending projects
• roles concerning prisoner rehabilitation plans
• prisoner health and well-being
• charitable organisation-based roles supporting those on release from prison
• community-based drug and alcohol project roles
• domestic violence perpetrator project roles
• careers working on offender rehabilitation and therapeutic projects applying cognitive-thinking techniques

Students are also equipped for positions engaging in research, data analysis, and programme evaluation offered by research organisations, the charitable and voluntary sector, in Ministry of Justice Departments such as the National Offender Monitoring Service (NOMS), policing organisations, and the government's high-level crime fighting agency the National Crime Agency (NCA). There are many opportunities in work with young people experiencing family dysfunction and disadvantage, young people 'at risk' of offending, and in services supporting young and vulnerable 'care leavers'.
