If you’re looking to start your career in criminal psychology, or you’re already working in the field and want to progress, our MSc Criminal Psychology degree course will give you the knowledge and skills you need.
Understanding the psychology of crime is essential to its investigation. On this course, you’ll explore and analyse the role of psychology within complex criminal investigative techniques, such as police interviewing and deception detection, and gain insight into courtroom psychology and jury decision making.
You’ll delve into key issues such as offender profiling and the links between offending behaviour and mental health. You’ll customise your degree by choosing specialist subjects, such as missing persons investigations or offender rehabilitation.
When you graduate, you’ll be ready to work with offenders or victims within any area of the criminal justice system, including policing, law enforcement, probation and intelligence analysis.
This course is not accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
