Students who study Forensic Pyschology enrol in the Master of Science by coursework and thesis. This programme is made up of coursework in Part 1 and a research thesis in Part 2. We accept you into the course expecting you to complete both Part 1 and Part 2. But if you complete only Part 1 and don't do the thesis, you may graduate with the Postgraduate Diploma in Science.

In special circumstances, you may be able to go directly to the thesis year (Part 2). Talk to the programme director about this option.
