PURPOSEDesigned to give psychologists the advanced knowledge and
skills to conduct clinical work in forensic psychology, with an
emphasis on evidence-based and reflective practice. Students have
exceptional opportunities for clinical and research training while
on the programme, building on intensive and wide-ranging
theoretical teaching from a distinguished multi-disciplinary
team.
DESCRIPTIONThis MSc programme offers students the theoretical and
research grounding needed for a career as a chartered forensic
psychologist. It also provides clinical forensic experience to help
students proceed to the next stage of their careers in this
demanding field. We believe this to be the only MSc programme in
the UK which focuses on the clinical aspects of forensic
psychology.
The placement is a distinctive feature of this programme. On
enrolment, students are allocated to a clinical forensic placement
which they attend for 75 days throughout the year, ie two days a
week. Placements have been arranged at a range of settings,
including Broadmoor Hospital and in medium/low secure units in
various locations in London, Surrey, Sussex and Kent. Students work
on a research project which is usually supervised by the Placement
Supervisor or a placement colleague.
All other teaching is at the Institute of Psychiatry, and includes
training on assessment and treatment of mentally disordered
offenders and on actuarial risk assessment tools (HCR-20 and
PCL:SV). Throughout the programme there is an emphasis on the
clinical relevance of research findings. Much teaching is provided
by practising clinicians.
