BSc (Hons) Forensic Psychology

This Forensic Psychology course will provide you with a unique opportunity to understand how psychological knowledge informs forensic practice. We will provide you with hands-on experience in conducting scientific research on forensic topics alongside the development of core developmental, cognitive, social, and biological skills.

Throughout our undergraduate forensic psychology degree, you will have the flexibility to choose from a range of modules. The combination of module choices will allow you to examine all aspects of criminal behaviour from pathways into crime, to crime scene behaviours, and criminal profiling techniques.

This programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and is the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist. This means that upon completion of your degree (with an overall classification of a 2:2 or above), you are eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) to the BPS. Acquiring your GBC has a host of benefits for a future career in Psychology. The accredited Psychology degrees at UON mean that you could move into Postgraduate Study in a number of areas in Psychology and beyond, without needing to do a further Psychology Conversion course to obtain GBC status.
