Course Overview

Although this is an academic rather than a professional training course, on successful completion, with a 2.2 or above, you will be eligible to apply for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) status with the British Psychological Society (www/bps.org.uk). As with all our psychology degrees, upon graduation, you can proceed to further study in any area of psychology. However, the unique skills and knowledge developed in this course are particularly suited to the postgraduate training you need to become a Chartered Forensic Psychologist.

All programmes are designed to incorporate employability skills development alongside your degree course. Our staff utilise their extensive connections to provide many and varied opportunities to engage with potential employers through fairs, guest lecture sessions, live projects and site visits. In addition, we offer a series of workshops and events in the first, second and third year that ensure all students are equipped with both degree-level subject knowledge and the practical skills employers are looking for in new graduate recruits.

Our award-winning careers service works with regional and national employers to advertise graduate positions and provide post-graduation support for all Teesside University alumni.
