Online Degrees at Coventry University (UK)



MSc in Forensic Psychology and Crime:

The MSc Forensic Psychology and Crime provides part-time students with a unique opportunity to study an area of applied psychology at a distance, whilst also being able to take advantage of residential schools and a blend of modes of delivery, which includes course and module handbooks, online discussions, CD-ROMs, high quality course materials and the use of web-based learning methods. These different methods of delivery provide a thorough grounding in the theory, themes, issues and practical skills that are central to the practice and application of psychological research into behaviour relevant to crime and forensic settings.

The course was designed to cover the BPS Division of Forensic Psychology’s core curriculum, which was written as a standard by which to judge forensic psychology Masters degree courses. The course has been developed and is delivered by an experienced course team which includes chartered forensic psychologists. In addition, experienced forensic practitioners offer ‘real-world’ experience as visiting speakers, and their materials will be made available via DVDs or video presentations.

Successfully completing this course will enable students to further their careers and promotion opportunities within areas such as the police, the prison service, social services, probation, drug dependency units, and youth offending teams, as a result of having a broader knowledge-base in relation to applying theory and contemporary research findings to practice.

MSc in Applied Forensic Studies:

Students who are likely to apply to this course will be graduates who have studied psychology in their undergraduate degree but it was not their main subject and their interest in forensic issues relates to a number of other disciplines, for example, criminology, social policy, sociology or law.

The course includes modules covering criminology, forensic psychology, the evaluation of crime-related research, law, counselling, and forensic science. It is an inter-disciplinary course which aims to provide a broad understanding of a range of highly specific contributions to our understanding of crime and how it might be prevented or reduced.

The course team includes a range of academic staff and practitioners from various disciplines such as criminology, forensic psychology, law, counselling, and forensic science. Successfully completing this course will enable students to further their careers and promotion opportunities within areas such as the police, the prison service, social services, probation, drug dependency units, and youth offending teams, as a result of having a broader knowledge-base in relation to applying theory and contemporary research findings to practice.
