What are the entry requirements for Applied Criminology and Forensic Psychology?
The entry requirement for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at 2:2 (or equivalent) in a related subject (e.g. social sciences, criminology, psychology, sociology, law, humanities, forensic nursing, policing). Where possible, you should also seek to gain some relevant experience before applying.
Applicants must also have achieved 50% or above in a relevant math related module studied as part of their degree (e.g. quantitative methods/statistics) or Nat 5/GCSE Maths/Application of Maths grade C or above.
We may also consider lesser qualifications if you have sufficient relevant work experience within the industry.
Do I need to have my qualification before I apply?
No, it is possible to apply whilst you are in the final year of your degree. Any offer made will be conditional on you achieving a 2:2 (or equivalent).
Can I get admission into Applied Criminology and Forensic Psychology based on my working experience in this sector?
This course has academic entry requirements which are assessed alongside relevant work experience. Full details of any relevant work experience, including references should be submitted with your application and may be considered for entry where the minimum academic entry requirements are below those required.
Usually, unrelated work experience is not considered sufficient for entry without meeting the minimum academic entry requirements. Please contact us with your specific circumstances by submitting an enquiry form above and we will be happy to discuss your options.
Can I make an appointment with an advisor to discuss further about the admission process?
If you want to get more information on the admission process, please get in touch with the postgraduate admissions team by submitting an enquiry form above.
