Description:

Psychology is the study of people – what they do, think, perceive and feel. It helps us to answer many important questions about society by applying scientific principles to human behaviour. Our Psychology with Forensic Psychology degree applies psychological theories, methods and processes to the study of criminal behaviour and the justice system.

Kent is a leading centre for social psychology – the study of human behaviour in a social environment – and we also have strengths in cognitive, forensic and developmental psychology. Passionate about research, our academics are world-leading experts and can inspire you to develop your own ideas and become an independent thinker.

Our degree programme

This degree offers the full scope of our Psychology degree but with an additional focus on Forensic Psychology. It includes modules and training that focus on applying psychological theory to understanding criminal behaviour, reducing offending and understanding victim responses to offending behaviour.

Throughout the programme you gain a broad background in practical applications, experimental and other methodologies, information technology and theory construction. Our modules cover a wide range of topics such as child development, language, mental health, motivation, and forensic psychology.  

In the first and second years, you can also gain direct experience of research through the:

  • Research Participation Scheme (where you take part in a project as a participant)
  • Research Experience Scheme (where you gain hands-on experience of working on a project and a reference at the end)
  • Work Experience Scheme (where you volunteer with a local organisation – such as a school, college, prison or hospital – and collaborate on a project).

In your final year, you can choose optional modules that allow you to follow specialist interests. All your work will help you to demonstrate transferable skills valued by employers.
