The MSc Forensic Psychology programme provides a comprehensive pathway to a career in forensic psychology. You will specialise in areas of crime and victim/survivor support, including child witness testimony, crowd behaviour, and crimes that affect older adults such as domestic violence.
Focus on psychology across legal and criminal justice contexts through conducting assessments and formulation of offending behaviour which can inform interventions aimed at reducing the risk of criminal behaviour. This may involve working with individuals of different ages, those who have offended or engaged in criminal behaviour and victims, helping you to progress on to offering evidence-based consultancy across various forensic settings.
You will advance your skills with experiential learning opportunities, engage with professional practice through research, placement opportunities, and practitioner-based projects.
You will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a forensic environment through our 'Professional Practice in Forensic Psychology' work placement module, enabling you to apply your theoretical and practical skills. Demonstrate your knowledge and expertise through an array of authentic assessments developed with input from forensic psychologists, to solve real-life challenges faced by external forensic organisations.
At Keele, you can benefit from access to a suite of resources and equipment including the Forensic Science Simulation Centre which is home to a range of professional and domestic crimes scenes, to assist with independent research and your dissertation project, as well as the Moot Courtroom on campus. Throughout the programme, you will acquire a range of transferable skills in communication, research methods and critical evaluation, ready to pursue further study (PhD) or a rewarding psychology-related career.
You will also develop your understanding of the British Psychological Society’s (BPS) Code of Ethics and Conduct and the Health and Care Professions Council’s (HCPC) Code of Ethics and Conduct to enhance your competencies.
Please note: This course is currently seeking accreditation from the British Psychological Society (BPS).
