Overview

Psychology is the science of human behaviour and mind. It is concerned with individual psychological processes and the social context of how we think and interact with the world around us. Forensic psychology applies these processes and knowledge to legal domains, helping shape how the police, courts, prisons and probation services understand and react to victims, witnesses and offenders.

A career as unique as you

Perhaps you see yourself working with vulnerable populations or as a research assistant? Maybe you’re fascinated by a career in policing as a Detective or Intelligence Analyst? 

As a Forensic Psychology (Hons) graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University, there are a diverse range of career paths you could take. You might decide to complete further education (MSc Forensic Psychology) and training to pursue a career as a forensic psychologist, or work for the police, HM Prison and Probation Service, NHS or in a charity supporting ex-offenders or victims of crime. Alternatively, you can use your transferrable skills to work across sectors as diverse as education, law, social care, and human resources (HR) and human performance. Some of the places you might work in are local authorities, social services, prisons, charities, sports clubs, NHS or private hospitals, schools, or rehabilitation centres.
