Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Forensic Psychology

Forensic psychology applies psychology to the criminal justice system.

Students consider different experiences of the criminal justice system – for victims, witnesses, defendants and legal professionals. They learn about the assessment and treatment of different types of offenders. Students learn the theory and research behind police interviewing, and put it into practice in Teesside's mock police interview rooms. And students consider the role of jurors, witnesses and experts first-hand by taking classes in a replica courtroom. Teesside's staff are actively involved in the practice of forensic psychology, so students are taught topical issues by experts from this field. Excellent links with external organizations means that there may be opportunities for course-related voluntary work.
