On this degree, students have the opportunity to learn through a combination of lecture-based teaching, small group seminar discussions, and practical tasks. This is provided by research-active academics with specialist knowledge in cognitive neuropsychology, vision, and attentional processing, infant cognition and language, mental health, life span development, and social psychology. The course enables students to develop an ability to design, conduct, and analyse independent research projects. This degree aims to provide students with a realistic insight into the day-to-day work of a forensic psychologist. Within forensic-related modules, students can gain an understanding of the motives, mind-sets, and behaviours of people who commit various crimes, as well as the assessment and treatment of offence-related risk factors. Students can also study the processes within the criminal justice system, including courts and post-conviction forensic settings, such as prisons. Teaching on the course includes content from both registered forensic psychologists and expert researchers within the field of forensic psychology.
