The Forensic Psychology, MSc at the University of Greenwich is designed for students who want to critically examine the complexities of criminal behaviour and the psychological processes within the justice system. You will explore core themes such as the development of delinquency, psychopathy, and the psychology of desistance and reintegration, gaining a deep understanding of both offenders and victims. By engaging with forensic assessment methodologies and mental health in criminal contexts, you will develop the analytical skills required to navigate professional forensic settings. This postgraduate degree provides a rigorous academic foundation, ensuring you are prepared for the challenges of modern forensic practice.
Studied full-time on campus over one year, this programme uses a blended delivery approach that combines online lectures with face-to-face seminars to build your practical expertise. You will work alongside experienced practitioners, including HCPC-registered psychologists, to apply research and theory to real-world criminal justice scenarios. Through your MSc Psychology Project, you will conduct applied research, bridging the gap between academic study and professional application. As this course is accredited by the British Psychological Society, you will graduate having completed the essential first stage of your training to become a Chartered Forensic Psychologist.
