This British Psychological Society accredited course offers students the opportunity to develop the required skills to engage in the effective and critical reflective practice necessary for the transition to, and application of, Forensic Psychology.
The course specialises in issues surrounding the commission, detection and prosecution of sexual offences, and the management and treatment of sex offenders. It also provides academic grounding for students wishing to pursue a research degree or academic career or gain more specialist knowledge in a particular forensic area.
Developed in consultation with HM Prison Service, this course offers a broad perspective of forensic psychology and a balance of practice-based, methodological and theoretically-driven modules.
Working in harmony they are designed to foster autonomy within the bounds of professional practice, independent learning and self-directed reflection.
Successful completion of the programme provides students with the practice-relevant skills, understanding, and knowledge required to work effectively and increase employability in a forensic setting. These could include secure units, special hospitals, the police, prison and probation services, or the Home Office, as well as academia.
