Question 2:

what jobs can you do with a psychology and criminology degree?
If the degree is BPS accredited, pretty much any job in the psychological profession, but this degree is presumably geared more towards jobs such as forensic psychologist, prison psychologist...

If you are interested in a career in Psychology, you could do additional qualifications and training after this to become, for example, a Forensic Psychologist. This would involve training up to doctorate level. After an undergraduate degree in Psychology, assuming it is accredited by the BPS (check that it is - this is important!), you would be eligible to apply for Assistant Psychologist roles, though you should look for relevant work experience in order to be considered for these roles (e.g., mental health support work).

Other than that, there are no specific careers immediately after undergraduate study, though the degree would certainly be useful for roles in forensic settings (e.g., victim support, mentors for ex-offenders etc.).
