Study Details: MSc; 12 months full time; 24 months part time
The programme is jointly delivered by the School of Law and the Department of Psychology and is designed for full and part-time study.
The contributions to the programme from academics in Psychology, Criminology and Law reflect the multidisciplinary context of applied forensic psychology and will develop your skills in integrating multidisciplinary concepts and communicating to multidisciplinary colleagues. The strong links with external practitioners in the field of forensic psychology give the programme a distinctive emphasis on detention and prisons, the assessment and treatment of the mentally disordered offender and young people in the Criminal Justice System.
The programme is accreditated by The British Psychological Society, so accounts for Stage 1 of the Qualification in Forensic Psychology
