Develop a broad understanding of Psychology relating to Law and the Criminal Justice System, focusing upon areas including detection, prevention and rehabilitation.
Why study with us- Learn from a team who not only conduct world-class research but also apply it in real-life forensic psychology settings settings – within the NHS, Prison Service, Victim Services or Police.- Progress to the sector-leading MSc Forensic Psychology course and pursue a career as a Chartered Forensic Psychologist.- You will have the opportunity to learn about expert testimony, eyewitness accounts of crime, rehabilitation, domestic and honour based violence, lie detection, crime prevention and many other areas.
What you'll do- Learn not just from academics that lead their fields, but a range of guest lecturers who share their own experiences. Previously these have included a criminal classed as ‘Britain’s Most Wanted,’ and a Detective Superintendent who was awarded the Queen’s Police Medal for their role in a high-profile murder investigation.- The core BPS curriculum is taught alongside coverage of the core areas of Forensic Psychology. This leaves the final year available to concentrate your studies upon an in-depth understanding of Forensic Psychology and to undertake a related research project.- You’ll learn through a variety of different approaches including interactive workshops, learning from Forensic Psychologists and probation officers who will share their experiences of working with offenders in prisons and hospitals.

We will provide you with the breadth and depth of knowledge that allows you to graduate with Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) provided you achieve at least a lower second class honours degree.
Future careersAs a Forensic Psychologist you could work in a range of professional settings providing the research evidence to support practice, offering evidence in court, advising parole boards and mental health tribunals.
