Psychology (Forensic Psychology)

About this course

Forensic psychology applies psychological science to questions that arise within legal and criminal justice contexts. It encompasses the assessment and treatment of offenders, the psychological factors that contribute to criminal behaviour, the reliability of eyewitness testimony, the mental health of people in the criminal justice system, and the role of psychological expertise in legal proceedings. The discipline draws on clinical, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology, and requires practitioners who can work rigorously with evidence, communicate findings clearly to legal audiences, and understand the ethical responsibilities of applying psychology in high-stakes contexts. This programme at Nottingham Trent University is described as an MSc, meaning it is a postgraduate masters degree specifically designed for psychology graduates who want to develop the knowledge and skills
