Summary
We are proud to have been awarded an IoPPN Excellence Award in 2018 for student satisfaction in the Postgraduate Taught Education Survey (PTES).
Unravel the complex relationship between mental disorders and criminal behaviour. At the same time, develop the skills to establish, manage and evaluate programmes designed to reduce antisocial behaviour.
You’ll have a choice of two pathways: clinical forensic psychology or forensic mental health research. With different entry criteria, you’ll need to pick the one that suits your interests and matches your level of experience.
Key Benefits
-
Focus on the neuroscientific understanding of the development of prosocial and antisocial behaviours across the lifespan
-
Critically examine forensic practice across the criminal justice system, including prisons, secure forensic hospital settings, and community services
-
Develop the skills required to critically evaluate new research and to establish evidence-based clinical services
-
Build an inter-disciplinary understanding of this complex field
Teaching
You’ll be taught by clinicians who split their time between King’s and running specialist services in the community. They might work with sexual offenders, in prisons, or at threat services monitoring risk to politicians.
At King’s, not only are we building knowledge in the field, we’re also discovering innovative ways to apply research to clinical practice. By the time you graduate, you’ll have the skills to make an impact in the area that interests you.
