"Forensic Psychology BSc"

Our Forensic Psychology pathway will develop your understanding of key psychological concepts while teaching you to apply them in a legal and criminal justice context. You’ll learn why crimes happen, how victims and perpetrators can be affected, and how the risk of further offending can be reduced. You'll study topics like criminal behaviour, witness testimony and investigation techniques, and explore ways in which forensic psychologists assess and treat people who commit crimes.

Our course is professionally accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and has a strong practical focus that will build your professional skills alongside your studies, helping you stand out to future employers. During your studies, you'll be eligible for student membership of the BPS – this will allow you to connect with other Psychology students through networks, online communities and in-person events.

You'll apply psychological theory to the criminal justice system, and will learn to interpret, evaluate and explain information relating to investigation, risk, rehabilitation and criminal behaviour.
