Placement

This degree features a work placement to help you gain important workplace experience and enhance your academic learning. You must be based in the UK for your placement.

You will spend up to 12 months working closely alongside a psychologist, or other suitably qualified professional working in a forensic setting or where forensic research is relevant. This is an opportunity to use the practice skills you’ll gain during your studies in a practical setting and learn from real-world professionals.

Your placement, which will usually start at the beginning of June in Year 1, is three days per week. You will also spend one day per week working on your dissertation.

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

The placement will be organised by our academic team and can take place in a variety of settings, such as:

  • the NHS
  • prison in-reach services
  • charities
  • law enforcement agencies
  • children's services
  • research settings

Some placements require previous experience, which will be taken into account when they are allocated. Choices may be more limited if you have no or little experience.

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

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.

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.

We recommend that you consider applying for British Psychological Society (BPS) Graduate Membership (GMBPsS). This membership will give you access to a range of resources, as well as discounts on publications and training tools.

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. Therefore, you’ll need to consider this in your financial planning.

Our placements are three days per week, plus one additional day a week for dissertation-related research. This enables 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, but you are responsible for the cost of this and your accommodation.

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). This will be at your own expense. Currently enhanced DBS checks cost £55.
  • health and safety regulations (such as checks on up-to-date immunisations and additional vaccinations if required). These will be at your own expense.

During your work placement, we recommend you consider purchasing professional indemnity insurance. Several organisations offer this, including companies recommended by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
