Master of Science in Forensic Psychology and Mental Health

Program Overview

This course focuses on mental health issues in forensic settings and examines the role of forensic psychologists throughout the criminal justice system.

Throughout the course you will examine core areas of forensic psychology, including an understanding of different types of criminal behaviour, including how psychological theories have enhanced our understanding. You will also investigate mental health issues prevalent in different client groups and the role of forensic psychologists throughout the criminal justice system.

It covers diverse topics such as the theoretical basis of forensic psychology across a range of settings, through all stages of the criminal justice process. However, there is a specific focus on mental health and offenders.
The aim of the course is, upon successful completion, for you to have gained an understanding of the influence mental health can have on how offenders and victims think, feel and act, as well as the opportunity to consider how our criminal justice system can respond to such individuals.
Our teaching and learning is designed to encourage your participation and deepen your understanding of specific subjects. For example, by debating and discussing topics such as the effectiveness of prison in reducing reoffending behaviour and the ethics associated with risk assessment.
