which is your favourite at the moment? i’m like 99% sure i’m going to Gloucestershire it was just such a nicer campus and more friendly. I’ll be attending the Gloucestershire offer holder day probs won’t bother with Portsmouth as it’s too far and i’m pretty sure i’m not going there :smile:

Hi everyone!

Congratulations on all of your offers!

I'm currently a PhD student at Portsmouth and have been at the uni since 2011 doing my Bachelors, Masters and now PhD there.
My field wasn't Criminology I'm afraid, but if you have any questions about the University that I can help with, please go ahead and ask!

Best of luck to everyone for your courses!

Hi! I was looking for the detailed modules regarding criminology with psychology. Even though the admission centre sent me the link, it didn’t provide all the subjects covered in a module.
Someone can pls help me?
If I had a more detailed and precise description I would finally firm! Thank you

Hi!

I've spoken to some of my colleagues at the university and what they have suggested I advise you to do is to directly get in contact with the faculty, which you can do at this address: [email protected]

Alternatively, if you wanted to PM your email address, then I can email the faculty and cc you in with an explanation of the information that you were looking for!

I hope this helps!

Hi! - again!

I've just had another thought that might also help...

You can check out the list of current modules on the course page here and then (I hope this works!) if you go to the University of Portsmouth library website, click on the 'Click to search Library resources' button in the top right corner, scroll down to 'Reading Lists' and in the search bar, type the name of the module title e.g. 'Introduction to Social Psychology' or 'Criminal Justice'. It should then give you the reading list for that course. If it gives you multiple results, just double check that you're clicking on the right module.

In some cases there will be explanations of the focus of the module and/or of the subjects that are studied each week. In other cases, this won't be there, but you might be able to look at the recommended reading and make an educated guess at the theme of each week. Worst-case scenario, it will just be a general list of books. But I thought this might be something you'd want to try looking at prior to emailing the faculty or sending us your email to email them!

I think it is also worth mentioning that course modules can and do change year to year depending on a variety of factors e.g. staff specialities, following contemporary research etc., so the existing course modules are an indication of the sorts of things you will study, but their structures may not be the same in future years (and I think this goes for any university).
