  • Gain a multidisciplinary understanding of the connection between mental disorder and criminal behaviour
  • Receive comprehensive training in research methods and writing
  • Further your interest in applied forensic psychology, forensic psychiatry and/or criminology
We offer you a distinctive psychosocial focus, a key component of current Ministry of Justice and Department of Health Policy. This approach helps you to reflect on your own experiences and practice in a way that develops your skills as a clinician, researcher or leader in the field, as well as providing a framework for safe and therapeutic work with offenders. This programme is intended for students who are interested in an applied course in forensic psychology, forensic psychiatry and/or criminology but do not require Stage 1 accreditation for the British Psychological Society for the Qualification in Forensic Psychology (QFP).
