Forensic Psychology MSc
This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). It draws on Kingston University's established expertise in psychology and criminology.
You will have the opportunity to undertake a minimum 15-week work placement, in one of a number of settings applicable to forensic psychology, including high, medium and low security hospitals, and youth offending teams. The placement will enable you to put what you learn into practice and gain valuable transferable skills and relevant experience.
You will be taught by research active staff with special interests ranging from intimate partner violence, forensic mental health, and detection of deception. You will also benefit from the close links our staff have with forensic settings located in London and the surrounding area.
On successful completion of the course, you may continue your training to become a Chartered Forensic Psychologist, or pursue a career in sectors such as the prison and probation services, crime analysis or education.
