Psychology and Criminal Justice

Learning and assessment on the BSc Psychology (Forensic and Criminal) programme integrate interactive lectures, seminars and hands‑on workshops with a suite of coursework‑focused evaluations. Students produce essays, case‑study analyses, research proposals, poster presentations and both qualitative and quantitative research reports, which develop critical analysis, data interpretation and professional communication abilities. Feedback is delivered through written comments, one‑to‑one tutorials and digital resources, while all campus lectures are recorded for later review. Assessment tasks emphasise real‑world application, ethical reasoning and collaborative problem‑solving, encouraging students to apply psychological theory to authentic criminal‑justice scenarios. The assessment schedule avoids timed examinations and instead uses assignments that mirror professional practice, preparing graduates for roles in forensic research, probation, victim support or postgraduate study.
