    "summary": "**Overview**\n\n**This course has been submitted to the British Psychological Society (BPS) for professional reaccreditation.**\n\nThe MSc Forensic Psychology will provide students with the opportunity to critically evaluate psychological theories to support their understanding of offending behaviour. The focus of the programme is to enable students to apply the theory to forensic psychology practice and the programme is developed based on the core British Psychological Society’s Forensic Psychology curriculum areas. \n\nThere is a focus on offending behaviour across the lifespan, including increased content on youth offending, as well as adult offending behaviour. There is consideration of a variety of offender settings within the module content and within in-session exercise material in addition to the assignment options. Across the programme modules, the diversity of individuals that Forensic Psychologists may work with is considered. This includes consideration of victims and witnesses, along with intersectionality of forensic populations. Issues are discussed in relation to diversity and inclusion, including race, gender and neurodiversity. This ensures that you receive a rounded understanding of issues and individuals encountered by forensic psychologists. \n\nOur lecturers have wide-ranging interests, research and practice experience and draw on these to bring to life a variety of sensitive topics in the workshops.    \n\n**Features and benefits**\n\n\n- **Contemporary teaching** -  Our teaching staff includes practicing researchers, counsellors, and forensic, clinical, health, and community psychologists. You’ll benefit from dynamic teaching with use of CAVE, our simulation room, and mock courtroom. \n\n\n- **Creativity and innovation** - During the most recent accreditation visit, the BPS commended the programme on the innovative teaching practices and the career focused elements of modules, alongside the development of reflective practice skills.  \n\n\n- **Research active academics** - Our staff engage in a wide range of research areas, including police decision-making, trauma, eyewitness testimony and alibi evidence, forensic mental health, terrorism, juror decision-making, and risk assessment and formulation.   \n\n\n- **Enhanced student support** - We strongly believe in enhancing student wellbeing. You’ll have a personal tutor and the programme support tutors will also work closely with you throughout the course. \n\n\n- **Outstanding facilities** - You’ll have access to our specialist facilities for psychology demonstration and practice, which includes EEG and fNIRS for brain imaging, and TMS and tDCS for non-invasive brain stimulation.\n",
