Psychology with Forensic Scene Investigation

The perfect mix of psychology, criminal investigation and forensic science

Psychology is both an experimental and observational science. This means you will observe and measure human behaviour, undertake literature research, and develop, test, and evaluate theories. This culminates in conducting your own supervised research project in your final year, which is one of the cornerstones of your degree. You’ll graduate with a thorough understanding of this fascinating world.

This Psychology with Forensic Scene Investigation degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and its core areas follow the curriculum set out by the BPS. This accreditation is essential if you want to become a Chartered Psychologist and means successful graduates can apply for further professional psychology training.

Psychology degrees here at Abertay are flexible. You can switch to BSc Psychology or another ‘Psychology with’ pathway if you develop an interest in a particular topic later on.

Our BSc (Hons) Psychology course scored an impressive 95% for Overall Student Satisfaction in the 2020 National Student Survey (NSS) and Forensic Science was the top rated modern Scottish department in the 2021 Good University Guide.
