Fascinating, dynamic, challenging and relevant to today's society. If you're seeking a career in forensic or other areas of psychology, this degree includes all core areas required by the British Psychological Society. One of the few UK degrees offering a specialist forensic psychology qualification, it examines criminal investigation, psychology of offending behaviour, and practical and theoretical approaches to psychology in general.
This programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society as conferring eligibility for Graduate Membership of the Society with the Graduate Basis for Registration, provided the minimum standard of qualification of second class honours is achieved. This is the first step towards becoming a chartered psychologist and (with further training) can lead to a career in forensic psychology.
Forensic psychology in the UK is flourishing with significant growth in the job market. This course has been designed for those who aspire to work as a professional forensic psychologist or to develop a career in an aligned area such as police, probation, drug rehabilitation and legal services.
Thorough grounding in all areas of scientific psychology will also equip you to develop a career in any other area of psychology. Work-based practice and observation opportunities in the final year will enhance your employment opportunities.
Qualification as a professional forensic psychologist requires further postgraduate training via a BPS approved forensic psychology MSc, such as the one offered by Kingston.
