This course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and, upon completion, provides students with eligibility to apply to the register to practice as Forensic Psychologists in the UK. The course is designed to be placement based, with various workshops for students as well as clinical and academic supervision. We have students from all over the UK so we aim to make access to workshops as straightforward as possible, and so workshops are usually delivered via Microsoft Teams. Each student will be allocated both a clinical supervisor and an academic supervisor – at least one of these supervisors will be an appropriately qualified and experienced Forensic Psychologist. Students should consider the availability of a forensic psychologist who is willing and able to offer supervision in their workplace or placement site for the duration of their studies. This Level 8 (doctoral level) programme builds on core knowledge and skills developed from a BPS-accredited MSc in Forensic Psychology. Students who successfully complete the programme and register as a Forensic Psychologist with HCPC can also proceed to complete the ‘top-up’ thesis element to achieve the Doctorate in Applied Forensic Psychology.DurationFull time (minimum): 3 years, usually 4 days per week for 45 weeks per year (students need to accrue no less than 360 days experience across the period of study).
