MSc Forensic and Investigative Psychology

Congratulations on being invited to interview.

What is the interview and assessment process?

  • Interviews for this programme will predominantly take place virtually via Microsoft Teams. In order to do this, your computer will need to have access to a webcam and microphone.
  • Offers will be based on overall score from interview.

About the interview

As a prospective student, your ability to present yourself in a professional manner will be assessed, along with other areas, such as your undergraduate dissertation and why you are interested in this particular course.

The course is very popular and fills quickly.

If you request an alternative interview date via the Applicant Hub, we will try to accommodate this, but it cannot be guaranteed due to the volume of applications we receive. If you are unable to attend on the specified date, and we’re unable to offer an alternative, your application will be withdrawn. Should you wish to cancel your interview, you can do so via the Applicant Hub.

What happens after my interview?

  • You will receive an email from the university to show our decision (although we can’t confirm an exact timescale for this, we aim to have this with you as soon as possible).
  • If we make you an offer of a place, all of the conditions and details will be provided in this communication. We ask that you confirm whether you wish to accept or decline the offer within 14 days of receiving your offer.

Interview top tips from our Admissions Team

  • Show that you're genuinely enthusiastic about your subject. Research as much as you can about the course and if you have any questions about it, contact us to ask.
  • Finally, approach your interview with confidence - you have worked hard to get this far and done well to be selected.

We look forward to meeting you.
