在新西兰唯一的法医心理学研究生课程中学习。审视法律和刑事司法领域的心理学理论和研究。探索它与成人矫正等领域的政策和实践之间的关系
A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree involves original and sustained research, mentored by an academic supervisor. It's an opportunity to make new discoveries, address some of the big issues of our time, challenge yourself, and develop a mix of transferable and specialised skills. Study in New Zealand's only postgraduate programme in forensic psychology. Examine psychological theory and research in the legal and criminal justice field. Explore how it relates to policy and practice in areas such as adult corrections, family violence, youth offending and child eyewitness interviewing. Develop clinically relevant skills and learn to use a range of research techniques to address forensic psychology research questions. You'll be able to design, conduct, present and publish research that can make a real difference to people's lives. Taught by the School of Psychology, you'll work in modern research labs alongside staff who are international leaders in their field. You might also spend time doing fieldwork at forensic agencies and voluntary organisations that provide services for offenders. Get insights into how forensic psychology works in real life through the School's close ties with government departments involved in crime and justice. These include the Department of Corrections, New Zealand Police and the Ministry of Social Development.
