In 2010, it was the second professional doctorate in forensic psychology to be set up in the UK and the first to follow the 1 + 2 model (Year 1 Masters component, Years 2 and 3 Doctorate component). A major advantage of the Nottingham structure is that trainees complete all the theoretical components before starting their supervised practice.
