Course summary

The course offers a thorough grounding in the theoretical and practical knowledge, issues and skills central to forensic psychological practice and the wide-ranging criminal justice settings, such as prison services, national security, academia and research. Both MSc routes provide a BPS-accredited Stage 1 foundation in forensic psychology and share the majority of core content. The main difference lies in two modules, whereby the MSc Forensic Psychology covers the full spectrum of modern offending behaviour, forensic client groups and criminal justice contexts and the MSc Forensic Psychology and Mental Health focuses specifically on offending associated with mental health disorders within secure care settings. Accreditation: accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS)1, completing this course fulfils the BPS Stage 1 requirements, placing you on the path towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist and a full member of the Division of Forensic Psychology.Comprehensive curriculum: examine forensic psychology across the full modern spectrum of offending behaviour and professional contexts, spanning the criminal justice process from investigation and sentencing to rehabilitation, risk management, and practice within custodial, community, and secure settings.Career-focused: blend theory with real-world application to gain a deep understanding of the subject and develop a range of practice-based, transferable skills essential for your career.
