Program Description

Investigative psychology is the systematic science that developed out of early ‘offender profiling’ contributions by psychologists and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to police investigations and court cases. In recent years this sub-discipline has become an increasingly dominant area of forensic psychology. This Master in Investigative Psychology (MSc) (Online) allows students to explore this specialised field of practice, from the application of psychological principles to the diverse aspects of the analysis, investigation, and legal processing of crime.

This BPS-accredited course aims to provide in-depth expertise in all aspects of Investigative Psychology. It has a strong research emphasis, helping to equip students with the expertise to conduct their own crime research projects in diverse professional contexts.

93.4% of graduates are in employment.
