About the course

This course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and, upon completion, provides students with eligibility to apply to the register to practice as Forensic Psychologists in the UK.

The course is designed to be placement based, with various workshops for students as well as clinical and academic supervision. We have students from all over the UK so we aim to make access to workshops as straightforward as possible, and so workshops are usually delivered via Microsoft Teams.

Entry Requirements

Applicants will be expected to have a BPS accredited Undergraduate degree and a BPS accredited Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology (or equivalence of BPS Stage 1 training in forensic psychology). In addition to the academic qualifications detailed above, applicants will be expected to demonstrate extensive experience in applied forensic psychology. This can be demonstrated by being employed as a forensic psychologist in training, or a similar role where you have practiced, under supervision, forensic psychology with forensic service users. We recommend at least 1 year (full time) experience in these roles.

Fees

As a postgraduate, research or part-time student, the tuition fees you are charged will depend on the course you choose to study.
