The BSc Forensic Psychology course offers a unique opportunity to explore how psychological principles inform forensic practice. You’ll gain hands-on experience conducting scientific research on forensic topics while also developing core skills in developmental, cognitive, social, and biological psychology.
Throughout our BSc Forensic Psychology degree, you’ll have the flexibility to choose from a diverse range of modules. This selection will enable you to explore various aspects of criminal behaviour, from pathways into crime and addiction, crime scene behaviours to advanced criminal profiling techniques. Additionally, you will delve into key areas such as forensic risk assessment, intervention strategies, and rehabilitation, gaining a comprehensive understanding of how to assess, manage, and support individuals within forensic settings.
This forensic psychology undergraduate programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), serving as the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist. Upon completing your degree with at least a 2:2 classification, you will be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the BPS. Gaining GBC status offers numerous advantages for your future career in psychology. Additionally, our accredited psychology degrees at UON allow you to progress into postgraduate study in various areas of psychology—and beyond—without the need for a further Psychology Conversion course to obtain GBC status.
