BSc (Hons) Psychology with Forensic Psychology

Psychology brings together the scientific study of behaviour, the mind, and neurophysiological functioning in an attempt to understand what makes us human, and why we think the way we do. The BSc (Hons) Psychology with Forensic Psychology degree at Lincoln aims to provide you with an opportunity to gain an understanding of the core concepts and practices in psychology in general, along with a level of specialised knowledge in forensic psychology.

The course aims to offer 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.
