Course summary

The degree focuses on the techniques and issues at the forefront of practice in criminal, investigative and forensic psychology as well as key areas of the law such as police investigation, false confession and jury behaviour. You study the foundations of psychology and how it applies to criminal behaviour before exploring different psychological approaches the role of an individual’s culture and society and practical forensic psychology.Through innovative assessments, you have the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills you have learnt in relation to real-world contexts. For example, you may assume the role of a forensic psychologist offering their expert opinion on the reliability of evidence used in a criminal trial or you may evaluate evidence from a mock criminal investigation.To become a fully-fledged chartered forensic psychologist, you will have to continue your studies at postgraduate level and undertake supervised practice. Our British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited course brings to life this exciting field of psychology, exploring how it can help us understand the criminal mind, criminal investigations, and the assessment and treatment of offenders.
