Take a first step towards a career in forensic psychology settings on this BPS-accredited course, with a compulsory placement and focus on counselling skills.

This degree provides the background psychological knowledge, professional skills and relevant experience you need to move confidently into working psychologically within the legal, criminal and civil justice systems.

You will gain up-to-date knowledge of psychological theory and practices, and develop the insights and skills to carry out research and development projects in forensic services, looking at governance, ethical, organisational issues.

You will also be introduced to the foundation skills of forensic psychology practice and spend time developing basic skills in counselling that can be applied in a variety of forensic settings.

The counselling element of the course, and a year-long placement, will help you acquire skills and experience which, compared with other forensic psychology courses, can greatly enhance your employability prospects.

This course is for graduates in psychology, who are interested in progressing to careers in the forensic services as practitioners, researchers or managers. It is also for those currently working in the criminal justice or forensic mental health systems, wishing to learn more about the theory and practice behind forensic psychology.

Graduate prospects

Thanks to the skills and relevant experience you gain, you will be well placed to secure work in NHS forensic services, probation and prison service, or voluntary sector organisations.

This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and is the first step to becoming a forensic psychologist. Successful completion of this course fulfils Stage 1 of the requirements towards Chartered Membership of the Society and full membership of the Division of Forensic Psychology.

2023/24 Academic Year

We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester.

Course structure

This course lasts 2 years. It starts in September 2023 and ends in 2025. Welcome week starts on 25 September 2023.

Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

These compulsory units are currently being studied by our students, or are proposed new units.

Placement

This degree features a year-long compulsory placement, during which you will develop practice skills. You must be based in the UK for your placement.

Your placement will start in the summer of Year 1 (usually at the beginning of June, subject to COVID-19 restrictions). You will spend three days per week on your placement and a fourth day each week working on your dissertation.

While many of our placements are in the South West, as this is our catchment area, some of our placements are based in other locations across the UK. We have had recent placements available in Bath, Bristol, Devon, Dorset, but also in Wales, Oxford, Leeds and London.

The placement will be organised by the academic team and can take place in a variety of settings, such as the NHS, prison in-reach, charities, law enforcement agencies, Children's Services and research settings. Please note that some of our placements require previous experience, which will be taken into account when placements are allocated. Choices may be more limited if you have no or little experience,

Different placements will have different requirements, but all will require:

  • a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (and sometimes higher-level vetting, such as for prison access)
  • possible health and safety regulations (including checks on up-to-date immunisations)

Please note: if you are an international student, you will find it easier to gain some relevant documentation in your home country before starting the course. You will be provided with details regarding what will be required.

While some of our placements are paid positions, the vast majority are unpaid. By going on placement (even if unpaid) you’ll gain experience not normally available through volunteering roles.

Forensic psychology as a profession is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act; hence, no conviction is ever considered Spent. You must disclose any convictions to the course supervisor and placement provider. If you do not satisfy any of the required checks then your placement opportunities may be limited.

Placements and COVID-19

In the last three years, placements have been fully in-person, fully online, or a blend of the two. In the coming years, if there are government restrictions in place, there may be changes to your placement opportunities. If this does occur, we will take reasonable steps to help you to meet the placement learning objectives and support you in the development of your dissertation.

Please note: even for fully online placements, students must be based in the UK. This is due to the need to access organisations' IT systems and for data security.

MSc Forensic Psychology exit award

The placement is a compulsory part of the course. However, there may be instances where a placement cannot be completed. If this occurs, you may be eligible for the exit award of MSc Forensic Psychology, which is a BPS-accredited Stage 1 qualification. To be eligible, you must complete the taught section of this course, including the dissertation.

To apply for this course you should have an undergraduate degree in psychology. Relevant practical experience (ideally in a forensic or clinical setting) will also be an advantage, with some placement providers looking for students with experience.

Your degree must be recognised by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as providing Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC). If you have gained your degree from an institution outside of the UK, before you apply to study we would encourage you to look at the eligibility criteria and application process for obtaining graduate membership and GBC with the British Psychological Society.

If you do not have an undergraduate degree in psychology, we will consider applicants who have successfully completed a BPS accredited Masters conversion degree.

We may make an offer on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.

In your application you will need to provide a personal statement (maximum 500 words) which should explain:

(a) why you are interested in studying for an MSc Applied Forensic Psychology and Counselling and your subsequent career intentions

(b) how your academic, professional and personal experiences equip you to meet the demands of the course. You should be able to demonstrate previous experience working with a forensic or clinical population or in a related field that demonstrates transferrable skills. This may be voluntary work and can cover a wide range of experiences and organisations. (Please note, however, we cannot comment on the applicability of your experience prior to the submission of your application since we need to consider your application in its entirety).

Budgeting

You will need to budget at least £100 for the cost of photocopying, printing and binding. You will also need to budget for the cost of text books.

Placement

Your tuition fees during your placement year are significantly lower, but you will need to continue to budget for your costs during this period.

It is unusual for forensic placements to be funded and most are unpaid. You’ll need to consider this in your financial planning. Our placements are four days per week, including a research day, enabling you to consider paid work for one day of the week.

Travel to and from placements will be at your own cost. As the placement duration is one year, you can consider relocating if needed.

If you are required to undergo vetting, including a DBS check, this will be at your own expense. Currently enhanced DBS checks cost £44.

During your placement, you may wish to consider professional indemnity insurance. Several organisations offer this, including three companies suggested for graduate members of the British Psychological Society.
