Forensic Psychology (Hons)

A forensic psychology degree can lead to a variety of careers in the legal, criminal justice, and mental health fields. You may work with young offenders and criminals to reduce offending behaviour, analyse crime profiles or assess the treatment of prisoners. It may take several years to become a licensed forensic psychologist. Try to gain as much work experience as possible during your psychology degree. We offer dedicated careers support, and further opportunities to thrive, such as volunteering and industry networking. Our courses are created in collaboration with employers and industry to ensure they accurately reflect the real-life practices of your future career and provide you with the essential skills needed. You can focus on building interpersonal skills through group work and benefit from our investment in the latest cutting-edge technologies and facilities. When not attending timetabled lectures or workshops, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This will typically involve skills development through online study, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects and preparing coursework assignments and presentations. Your independent learning is supported by a range of excellent facilities including online resources, and specialist facilities, such as game labs, the library, the full Microsoft Office software, including MS Teams, and Moodle: our Virtual Learning Environment.
