Career opportunities
The breadth of what you’ll learn whilst studying for a degree in Psychology and Criminology means that this qualification is highly relevant to a wide range of careers – from working in the police force, private security or the probation service to working in social welfare, education, local and national government, or community work.
This degree is not BPS accredited. In order to pursue studies within the Psychology profession itself, such as educational, clinical, occupational or forensic psychology you must take the qualifying exams with the BPS (British Psychological Society). Please be aware, however, that 2009 is the last year in which registration for the Qualifying Examination will be accepted by the BPS. Following this you will be able to convert your degree through BPS accredited postgraduate training.
