What will I learn?

From exploring contemporary issues in mental health and forensic mental health in its broadest sense, to delving deeper into crime, criminal behaviour and victimisation, this course will provide you with a critical appreciation of the issues arising from mental health practice and research. Ideal for those seeking employment in – or already working in – the areas of forensics and/or mental health, this degree will equip you with the theory and awareness of the philosophical and methodological problems, debates and insights that shape the discipline. You’ll also gain practical experience in research as you will complete a research project in a specialist area of your choice, supervised by an expert within the field.
