hi Kelly, loved this video, it was very informative:) instead of doing the practitioner programme, is it possible to just do the actual doctorate? thank you:)

[keirafortune]

Hi! Very informative video :) I've always been interested in criminal profiling and I was wondering if a forensic psychologist was the uk equivalent? And would I have to do a practitioner doctorate or a doctorate to become a forensic psychologist?

[jordandavidson-bint]

Hi, Very useful video. I am currently doing my MSc psychology degree and aim to do MSc forensic psychology next academic year. I was wondering if you could provide me with some more information regarding the practitioner doctorate, Is this getting an assistant role? is there further studying alongside?

[debbie]

Hi, loved the video! Was just wondering if there was much maths involved in a criminology/psychology degree and then the masters in forensic psychology? I’m interested, but after looking into some course modules they seem quite maths & statistics based.Thank you! X

hiya, the video was very useful, i'm currently looking into my sixth form options for september 2022, i'm looking at a level history, law and psychology with an EPQ. would that be sufficient?

[daniquec]

Thanks for explaining. So after the MSc, it's possible to do the practitioner programme, and then do the actual doctorate to have the Dr title? Are there any advantages of doing the practitioner programme instead of stage 2 with the BPS?

[jessicamawle]

Thanks for this video, its incredibly informative. I'm currently doing Psychology and Criminology, but it is not BPS accredited. I plan on doing a MSc psychology conversion course, and then specialising in Forensic Psychology, but the government only funds one masters loan, so I would have to fund the other myself (which I would struggle to do). Would you suggest the PhD or other doctorate routes would be better in my case (where I could get further funding) ?

Hi Kelly very informative video. Over lockdown I’ve had an interest in criminology and psychology and I’m now looking at forensic psychology. I don’t suppose you know if doing a course at uni would be available for me would you? I’m starting college in September and criminology for example is A-levels only which I can’t do. I don’t want to go for this one course and then be disappointed if I can’t actually end up doing it. Thanks!

Hi Kelly! I would like know about which route I can do to I become Forensic Psychologist! I am Chartered Psychologist, my formation was in Brazil (Graduate, Postgraduate and Master in Clinical Psychologist). I not have still experience here in UK. Is there a route that I don't need to do Doctorate? Which are the routes that HCPC offers to become Forensic Psychologist in my case?? Thank you so much! Lisete.

Hey, loved the video. It was very informative and helpful. I was just wondering if Forensic Psychology is a good career option for International students. I'm currently pursuing Psychology honours Bachelor's degree and was looking for options in the field of Forensic Psychology. What would you suggest?

[DarkbrownGirl]

I am from India, coming to UK to study forensic psychology for 3 years and I want to work with there only for my entire life, so after completing my masters more 2 years I need to work there. Can I work in the same field? In forensic psychology as a intern

[abigailsweet]

Was you interviewed for your masters? I'll be applying for a forensic psychology masters soon and some of the universities have stated that they interview candidates. I was just wondering if you could tell me a bit about the interview and how to prepare?

[lucamuss]
