Studying this MSc in Criminology with Forensic Psychology at Kingston University will give you the skills to progress to careers in a wide range of private and public sector organisations.
Previous graduates have gone on to work in policy making, offender management, crime reduction and more.
During the course, you’ll consider the formal responses to offending behaviour. You’ll unpack policing, punishment, rehabilitation and wider social control strategies, as well as studying the criminalisation process and engaging critically with crime reduction methods.
Through a blend of practical and theoretical learning, you’ll critically evaluate a range of historical and contemporary investigative methods. You’ll study investigative and legal processes, exploring how psychological methods can improve interviewing techniques and police inquiry decision-making.
Alongside the forensic component, you’ll also examine social, economic and political contexts that lead to crime and victimisation.
Please note: If you’re interested in becoming a practising psychologist, you should complete an MSc in Forensic Psychology, which is BPS-accredited. To find out more visit our Forensic Psychology MSc course page.
