BSc (Hons) Forensic Psychology

... United Kingdom
... University of Bedfordshire

Course Overview

Our BPS-accredited course brings to life this relatively new and exciting field of psychology, exploring the criminal mind, practical forensics and legal areas such as police investigation and jury behaviour.

The degree focuses on the techniques and issues at the forefront of practice in criminal, investigative and forensic psychology as well as key areas of the law such as police investigation, false confession, expert witnesses and jury behavior. You study the foundations of psychology and how it applies to criminal behavior before exploring different psychological approaches; the role of an individual’s culture and society; and practical forensic psychology.

The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and completing it confers eligibility for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), provided you meet the minimum standard of a second-class honors degree.

To become a fully-fledged chartered forensic psychologist, you will have to continue your studies at the postgraduate level and undertake supervised practice.
