Overview

The Psychology with Criminology (Hons) degree from Nottingham Trent University covers all the core areas of Psychology stipulated by the BPS curriculum. 

This accounts for two-thirds of the course, and includes the workings of the brain; the processes and mechanisms of human thinking, feeling and behaviour; and how psychologists, psychological research and therapy can make a tangible and positive difference to people’s lives and society.
