BSC Forensic Psychology With FoundtionYear
Course overview
The BSc Forensic Psychology (With Foundation Year) at the University of Bedfordshire teaches students how to apply psychology to legal settings. It covers topics like psychological evaluations and providing expert testimony in court. This programme, which includes a foundation year, is designed for individuals interested in human behaviour within the legal system, such as those working with law enforcement or collecting evidence at crime scenes. The foundation year helps students develop skills in academic writing, math, and basic psychology.
In this programme, students work with case studies where they can practice the theories learned in the classroom. Since the course includes a foundation year, students will also gain an understanding of how the average human behaves, test their knowledge in a simulation that mirrors the actual workplace, and complete modules in clinical psychology, social psychology, and legal theory. Graduates of this course may work in courtrooms, prisons, rehabilitation centres, and schools to ensure ethical standards are met.
Learning in this course is through lectures, laboratory work, conferences, group discussions, and tutorials. Assessment methods include presentations, assignments, examinations, formative essays, and a final-year project.
