Criminal psychology is a field which straddles the boundaries of psychology and criminology. It is a fascinating and highly complex discipline which reveals a lot about the inner workings of the mind and human behaviour. Professional criminal psychologists work in a number of interconnected roles, focussing on understanding criminal behaviour and contributing to crime prevention.
Studying for a master’s degree in criminal psychology gives students a chance to delve deeper into the subject matter than an undergraduate degree. Typical UK entry requirements include an upper second-class honours degree in psychology or a related field. It is a popular and widely applicable degree subject, and there are 36 universities in the UK which offer it as a master’s qualification.
Expect a varied curriculum, where you’ll engage with theoretical study and practical training, covering topics like forensic psychology, criminal profiling and the psychology of criminal justice systems. Courses are typically one year in duration with full-time attendance, or two years with part-time attendance.
Assessment will be through a number of methods, including essays, presentations, exams and a final dissertation project on a topic of your choosing, written with the supervision and advice of an academic tutor.
After graduating, you’ll be ready to work in a number of roles within forensic psychology and the criminal justice system. You can apply for accreditation through the British Psychological Society (BPS) and join the ranks of its 50,000 strong membership.
