Course Details

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. This programme combines a broad education in psychology with a specialist strand to develop understanding of psychological aspects of criminal behaviour and legal system.

You will focus on the systems and theories that underpin both psychology and criminology, culminating in the submission of a portfolio of research and knowledge. This degree allows you to combine the study of criminology with modern scientific methods of psychology so you can gain an understanding of criminal behaviours and their effects. Graduates of the programme will be eligible and well-prepared to undertake specialised postgraduate training to become qualified to practice as forensic psychologist, and work along with legal and justice system.

The degree provides sound understanding of basic core courses that start at foundation level in year one and develops in depth and details in year 2 and 3. The main focus of various modules is to enhance critical thinking and evaluation of taught concepts and theories, the development of basic understanding of criminology and legal system, preparation for taking up future studies in forensic or other applied fields, acquiring numerical and analytical skills which culminate into developing capacity to carry out independent research project.

In addition to all other basic core modules students must complete a dissertation which is intended to demonstrate the student’s ability to carry out a research-oriented piece of work and to relate the theoretical knowledge gained through the programme to empirical data. For the dissertation, the focus is on independent, self-managed, self-directed study within a framework of supervision.

Forensic psychology is continually growing as a field and skilled graduates are in high demand. Our BSc in psychology with criminology 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.
