Explore psychological theories of criminal behaviour and offender rehabilitation. Apply ethical practices in forensic psychology to real-world settings. Gain key skills in critical thinking, research, ethical practice, and communication. Develop consultancy skills by working with professionals in forensic psychology and criminal justice. Progress towards Stage One of the BPS chartership process in forensic psychology. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of criminal behaviour, offender rehabilitation and investigative psychology, while applying theoretical concepts to practical settings. Upon completion, you’ll be equipped to advance towards Stage Two of the BPS chartership process if you’re eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (otherwise you can apply for a BPS-accredited conversion course, MSc Psychology or MSc Developmental Psychology), or to pursue various roles across forensic psychology and criminal justice.
You should have successfully completed an undergraduate honours degree in psychology (2:1 or above). Undergraduate honours degrees in criminology or other relevant disciplines may also be considered. It would be helpful if your previous studies included research methods. If you have successfully completed an undergraduate honours degree in psychology (or other relevant discipline) with a 2:2, you may be considered if you can satisfy the course team that you have the ability to complete the course (e.g., through evidence significant work experience in criminal justice, or successful completion of other relevant postgraduate study). For example, your work experience could be in the voluntary sector in youth justice, support work, drug rehabilitation, or programme facilitation.
