This introductory module equips students with the academic, research, writing, and critical thinking skills required for successful university study. Students learn academic referencing, reflective practice, effective online learning strategies, and the foundations of psychological thinking that underpin the rest of the programme. It prepares Caribbean students for independent study while building confidence in academic communication.

Students explore how individuals think, feel, and behave within social environments. Topics include attitudes, prejudice, conformity, group behaviour, interpersonal relationships, and ethical psychological research. Understanding social influences provides valuable insight into crime prevention and community development across Caribbean societies.

This module examines crime from sociological and psychological perspectives. Students investigate different categories of crime, criminal behaviour, social inequality, and the impact of crime on communities, governments, and victims. Caribbean case studies can be applied to understand crime trends across the region

Students study how memory, perception, attention, thinking, and decision-making influence human behaviour. The module explains how cognitive processes affect criminal actions, witness testimony, and investigative decision-making while introducing major theories in cognitive psychology.

This specialised module introduces the principles and methods used to analyse criminal behaviour and identify behavioural patterns. Students evaluate profiling techniques, understand common misconceptions, and examine how profiling supports criminal investigations in modern policing.

Students gain practical knowledge of psychological research design, quantitative and qualitative methodologies, ethics, statistical analysis, interviewing techniques, and data interpretation. These skills are essential for evidence-based decision-making and professional research careers.

This module explores how the brain, nervous system, hormones, and genetics influence behaviour. Students examine neuroscience, brain development, biological theories of aggression, and the relationship between biology and criminal conduct.

Students examine how psychology is applied within criminal investigations and legal systems. Topics include criminal responsibility, mental health disorders, offender assessment, rehabilitation, eyewitness testimony, and psychological interventions within correctional settings, making this one of the programme's flagship modules.

This advanced module investigates why individuals commit crime and how environmental, psychological, biological, and social factors contribute to offending and repeat offending. Students critically evaluate major criminological and psychological theories while developing practical approaches to crime prevention and offender rehabilitation.

Students learn the psychological principles that support criminal investigations, including offender behaviour analysis, interviewing methods, geographic profiling, investigative decision-making, and evidence interpretation. The module demonstrates how psychology improves investigative effectiveness across law enforcement agencies.

This module focuses on the experiences of crime victims, examining domestic violence, hate crime, antisocial behaviour, victim support systems, and the role of victims throughout the criminal justice process. Students develop a deeper appreciation for victim-centred approaches to justice and public policy.

The capstone research project enables students to conduct an independent investigation into a criminal psychology topic of their choice under academic supervision. Students apply the research, analytical, and critical evaluation skills developed throughout the programme while producing a substantial piece of scholarly work relevant to criminal psychology or criminal justice.
