Our Investigative Forensic Psychology course is carefully designed to provide an advanced understanding and skills that can be applied in various sectors, including law enforcement, government, business, legal settings, intelligence organisations, and social services. Our focus is on preparing students with specialised knowledge for roles that require expertise in forensic psychology, rather than preparing them for practitioner psychologist roles defined by the HCPC.

While not compulsory, related professional experience in contexts such as law enforcement, legal environments, or social services is highly valued and can be considered under our Accreditation of Prior Learning policy.
Upon completing the MSc in Investigative Forensic Psychology, you’ll have developed a strong set of transferable and subject-specific skills that significantly enhance your employability across various sectors.
