Course Overview

The purpose of the PG Dip in Practitioner Forensic Psychology is to allow students to progress from Master's level study towards Practitioner status, thereby boosting their employability. At the end of the programme, successful students can apply to the HCPC to be registered as Forensic Psychologists. This course is essential for students who wish to progress on to clinical work within forensic settings or more widely with forensic clients. The programme is placement based and provides supervised support towards developing the competencies required to be an autonomous practitioner.

100% of the graduates from this programme are employed as Forensic Psychologists and so working in professional roles within a variety of organisations in the UK. Some of our graduates may consider returning to complete the Doctorate in Forensic Psychology (Top-Up) once they have decided which area they would like to specialise in.

General Eligibility

Applicants will be expected to have a BPS accredited Undergraduate degree and a BPS accredited Masters's degree in Forensic Psychology (or equivalence of BPS Stage 1 training in forensic psychology). In addition to the academic qualifications detailed above, applicants will be expected to demonstrate extensive experience in applied forensic psychology. This can be demonstrated by being employed as a forensic psychologist in training, or a similar role where you have practised, under supervision, forensic psychology with forensic service users. We recommend at least 1 year (full-time) experience in these roles.
