Course summary
Course Overview
Are you interested in becoming a chartered forensic psychologist? If so, you will need a Forensic Psychology Masters.
Our specially-developed blended learning master’s offers the added convenience of being able to complete your studies alongside your current employment.
With a strong applied forensic focus, you will be highly sought after for psychology work in prisons, and related settings, when you graduate.
Forensic psychology training
As a forensic psychologist, you will work directly with offenders on treatment and rehabilitation programmes, and be involved in psychological interventions designed to modify criminal behaviour. You may also be called upon to give evidence to expert audiences, including courts, and parole and mental health boards.
This course covers all the main areas of knowledge, and practical skills you will need to move into this area of work, and, if you are not already in such a position, it will provide guidance on securing a trainee position.
Who is it for?
This course is for anyone who has studied psychology at undergraduate level and wishes to specialise in prison work. You might be working as an intervention facilitator in prisons already and want to move your career on. You may also have studied a degree such as criminology or sociology and have hands-on experience you can draw on working in the criminal justice system.
Tailored assessments
We use a mix of assessments to mirror the modes of communication expected of graduates in this field. For example, you will complete risk assessments, professional case reports and a presentation to an expert audience.
You will also learn to measure intervention effectiveness and facilitate interventions, using mock scenarios and role plays, as well as working directly with prisoners.
What are my career prospects
By the end of the course, you will be well equipped to work in a variety of forensic psychology environments, in prisons, probation or victim work. You could also specialise in interventions work in prisons or other settings.
