Leading to: Forensic Psychology BSc (Hons)
If you've ever wondered what drives some people to commit crime, from everyday offences to high profile cases, this course may be for you. Forensic psychology seeks to understand the elements that contribute to criminal behaviour so that we can create a safer, more just society.

In forensic psychology, you will explore biological, social, developmental, cognitive, and psychological perspectives to help tackle pressing issues in the criminal justice system and society at large. You will also take several criminology modules to investigate how sociological, legal, political systems interact in shaping the way in which we classify crime and treat those who commit it.

You will develop practical skills by working with risk assessments, researching possible treatment plans, engaging with the parole process, and observing criminal trials. You can also gain valuable experience through work-based practice or observation.
