MSc Forensic Psychology

... United Kingdom
... Teesside University

Course Overview

You experience a critical and questioning approach to the discipline of forensic psychology. You develop as an independent critical thinker, resilient and well-prepared as a forensic psychology practitioner. The programme covers the essential areas of knowledge, representing the stages and processes in the criminal justice system and the pathways offenders and victims take through it.

The integrative approach of the courses sees ethics, practice and professional skills incorporated as appropriate to each topic, enhancing the relevance of these issues and applying psychological knowledge to the understanding, investigation, assessment, interventions and management of offenders.

For example, in the Law, Justice and Psychology module, students act as expert witnesses and are questioned individually by a mock barrister. They then reflect on their performance and consider how it could impact the court's decision-making process in the criminal justice system. Students, therefore, can present in court, which they may do once they qualify as forensic psychologists.
