The MSc Forensic Mental Health programme offers two distinct pathways, allowing you to tailor your studies to your professional interests and career aspirations:
The Forensic Mental Health Research pathway is ideal for students who are interested in pursuing careers in research, academia, policy development or further postgraduate study, such as a PhD or MD.
You will develop advanced research skills and gain a comprehensive understanding of key topics in forensic mental health, including the relationship between mental disorder and offending, neuroscientific approaches to crime and behaviour, and the evaluation of forensic interventions and services. The pathway provides excellent preparation for research-focused careers and doctoral study.
