The purpose of the PG Dip in Practitioner Forensic Psychology is to allow students to progress on from Masters level study towards Practitioner status, thereby boosting their employability.  At the end of the programme successful students can apply to the HCPC to be registered as Forensic Psychologists. This course is essentially for students who wish to progress on to clinical work within forensic settings or more widely with forensic clients. The programme is placement based and provides supervised support towards developing the competencies required to be an autonomous practitioner.  

100% of the graduates from this programme are employed as Forensic Psychologists and so working in professional roles within a variety of organisations in the UK.  Some of our graduates may consider returning to complete the Doctorate in Forensic Psychology (Top-Up) once they have decided which area they would like to specialise in.  

• 2 Years PSW is applicable after completing a minimum duration of 9 months course (like- Undergraduate, Postgraduate Level)
• 3 Years PSW is applicable after completing PhD level courses.

• Undergraduate degree and a BPS accredited Masters 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.

Before starting the programme, students must have an approved placement where appropriate supervised experience is offered by the placement site. For some students, their employment can be used as the placement (e.g. forensic psychologists in training employed by justice or health organisations). We support students who have been offered a place on the programme to find suitable placement opportunities. Students on placements where they are not employed by their placement provider will be expected to take out appropriate liability insurance at their own cost. The cost of liability insurance for students on placement varies, but should be less than £100.00 per year for most applicants.
