With Staffordshire University, youll be given opportunities to examine methods for collecting and analysing information, to provide the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills and receive feedback.Focused on future employability, our course will see you applying forensic and criminological techniques, such as the measurement of physiological responses in interview and video settings. Youll also get the chance to complete a work placement as part of your studies, which is your opportunity to get real-world experiences in a professional sector, such as the prison service, health, victim support and more.Whats more, during the course you will get the opportunity to enrich your learning with digital development opportunities and begin to make networks with like-minded students and inspirational guest lectures.After completing the BSc (Hons) Forensic and Criminological Psychology course you will be ideally placed for further study at postgraduate level.Students on our psychology courses are supported to find voluntary positions in which they contribute to important roles within not-for-profit organisations, working to support people experiencing homelessness, mental health difficulties, and drugs and alcohol challenges.Students have volunteered for various organisations including Girlguiding UK, Oxfam, Change, Grow, Live (a childrens rights service) and Catch 22 (an organisation supporting victims of child sexual abuse and children missing from home). Many students have also engaged in voluntary work with education providers, supporting children and young people in schools and nurseries around Stoke-On-Trent and the surrounding areas.Our students find voluntary work experience to be a particularly enjoyable aspect of their studies as they can give back to their communities whilst simultaneously gaining valuable work experience.
