The overall aim of the BA (Hons) Criminology & Psychology with Foundation Year enables students to study two well established fields in social sciences. Both fields are set out to understand the social world which encompasses social values and behaviours. While Psychology studies human behaviours in general, Criminology focuses on criminal behaviours and social orders in particular.
“My goal is to be the leader of my country, St. Kitts and Nevis. I feel like I want to make an impact in terms of social and economical change. Studying accounting and finance online with Arden is a big step towards that for me.“
