Applying for criminology and psychology

Is it better to do a psychology degree and then specialise or will doing a criminology specific psychology degree (e.g Southampton's criminology and psychology degree) limit me for options after uni?

depends, if you want to go down the psych route then the joint degree needs to be BPS accredited.

It looks like the Criminology and Psychology course you referred to is accredited by the BPS, so it shouldn't limit your options. If you are interested in a psychology career, you want to be looking for BPS accredited courses in order to ensure these careers are accessible to you in future.
