Are you passionate about rehabilitating criminals and reforming criminal behaviour?
Our MSc Forensic Psychology course will not only give you the knowledge and skills you need to practice effectively, but will also turn you into an innovative and creative leader in your chosen specialism. Throughout your time on our course you’ll master eight core competencies which will help develop you into a professional and effective forensic psychologist.
Our specially-developed blended learning Master’s offers you the opportunity to complete your studies flexibly alongside your current employment through online learning.
After graduation, and you go on to find employment, you may find yourself working with prisoners on treatment and rehabilitation programmes, and become involved in psychological interventions designed to modify criminal behaviour. You may also be called upon to give expert evidence to various audiences, including courts, and parole and mental health boards.
Within our course, you will develop a skills base which will enable you to practice Forensic Psychology effectively and help prepare you to complete these important tasks.
Our course will allow you to work through materials online, while also attending three, one-week blocks on campus. You can choose to complete the course full time over a year, or part time, fitting in the training more easily alongside your current work.
