Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Forensic Psychology (C816)

Forensic Psychology is a challenging subject. From anti-social behavior and sexual violence to acts of terrorism, the University of Gloucestershire ask students to consider material relating to a range of different kinds of offenders and their offences.

Graduates will need to have the maturity and sensitivity to tackle these kinds of topics during their degree. They will also consider the impact on victims and the kinds of support they may need to help them contribute as witnesses in the criminal justice system.

Students will consider the real-world application of psychological knowledge in different contexts. They will find out what contributions a Forensic Psychologist can make as a member of a team working alongside the police, victim support organizations and others in the criminal justice setting. Students will develop skills of collaboration and team-working – including exercises that model the ways evidence is collected, analyzed and presented in the journey from crime scene to court.
