Psychology with Criminology (Hons) Middlesex University Dubai

Overview

Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and the human mind. At Middlesex University Dubai , we offer a solid grounding in modern psychology – a body of theoretical and practical knowledge concerning human behaviour and experiences. 

Forensic psychology is continually growing as a field and skilled graduates are in high demand. This Psychology with Criminology (Hons) programme from Middlesex University Dubai is tailored towards the student who has ambitions to work within the criminal justice system. You’ll build up a range of skills by examining theoretical and scientific approaches to criminology, human behaviour, and psychology. You’ll also gain understanding of the psychological issues associated with criminal behaviour and the treatment of people who have committed criminal offences. Successful completion of the programme allows students to apply for the Graduate Basis for Chartership with the British Psychology Society, which is an important first step for those who wish to pursue further training in areas such as forensic and criminology etc.

The Criminology modules of this programme focus on criminality and social orders in particular, while the Psychology modules give you the broader picture and insights on human behaviours in general. This course will equip you with a wide range of transferrable and practical skills that will aid in both psychology and law-related and other careers or further studies.

It is important to note that though as a graduate of this programme you will not be qualified to practice as either a counsellor or psychologist, but you will be eligible and well-prepared to undertake specialised postgraduate training leading into these professions.
