MSc Criminology with Forensic Psychology

The Criminology with Forensic Psychology MSc at Middlesex University London is designed for those with a keen interest in psychological perspectives on crime and criminal justice, including those without a first degree in psychology. This postgraduate programme combines core modules in criminology and forensic psychology with a range of optional modules covering topics such as policing, terrorism, drugs, and transnational crime. Students benefit from research-informed teaching, professional guest lectures, and field visits to criminal courts and prisons to observe justice in action. The course is available as a one-year full-time programme or a two-year part-time option. Students will develop critical skills in data analysis using SPSS and NVivo, and complete a 15,000-word dissertation or work-based project under expert supervision. This degree aims to provide a deep appreciation of criminal offending and psycho-social interventions, preparing students for a wide variety of careers within the criminal justice system, research organisations, and the charitable sector.
