Become a skilled, forensic psychologist, who'll be eligible to register with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) allowing you to work effectively within the NHS and equivalent organisations. The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS),conferring eligibility for becoming a Chartered Psychologist.

Approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). Meaning that upon graduation, you are eligible to apply for BPS Chartered Psychology status, HCPC registration as a Forensic Psychologist, and full member of the Division of Forensic Psychology.

The course is run by the Centre for Forensic and Family Psychology (CFFP), located in the School of Medicine, in collaboration with the Institute of Mental Health.

Professional organisations

The Professional Doctorate in Forensic Psychology (3 years) is offered by the Centre for Forensic and Family Psychology (CFFP) under the Academic Unit of Mental Health and Neurosciences, School of Medicine in collaboration with Nottinghamshire Healthcare National Health Service (NHS) Trust’s Institute of Mental Health (IMH).

In 2010, it was the second professional doctorate in forensic psychology to be set up in the UK and the first to follow the 1 + 2 model (Year 1 Masters component, Years 2 and 3 Doctorate component). A major advantage of the Nottingham structure is that trainees complete all the theoretical components before starting their supervised practice. It also allows for a ‘top up’ programme for those already holding an accredited Masters to enter the programme for the doctorate component (Years 2 and 3) only.
