Course summary

If you hold a BPS-accredited MSc in Forensic Psychology (Stage 1), this online programme, coupled with 360 days of practice experience within a forensic setting, confers eligibility to apply for Health Care Profession Council (HCPC) registration, to become a registered forensic psychologist. All teaching will take place online around your work and other commitments. It’s a great option for those who can’t get onto campus, including working professionals and international students. You will still be able to interact and share insights with tutors and other students, through digital cafes and forums. You will also receive regular support throughout the programme, including through your Clinical Supervisor and your Academic Supervisor, both of whom will be HCPC Registered Forensic Psychologists. Our highly regarded teaching team includes practising forensic psychologists, who will bring their industry experience and research-informed practice to the programme. This new, Postgraduate Diploma in Forensic Psychology Practice is unique in that it combines online teaching with practice-based learning and independent study. Once you successfully complete the programme, you will be eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and, if this is granted, you will be able to practice as a forensic psychologist in the UK. We expect that most students will already be working in a forensic setting where they can carry out the necessary 360 days of practice, but if you are not, there may be placements available provided by University of Derby, though these are not guaranteed.
