ESS01 Essentials in forensic psychology
Course ESS01 Essentials in Forensic Psychology helps psychology students to acquire the core knowledge required to work in forensic settings.
“Forensic psychologists are scientist-practitioners. They apply psychological knowledge, theory and skills to the understanding and functioning of legal and criminal justice systems, and to conducting research in relevant areas. They often work in criminal, civil and family legal contexts and provide services for litigants, perpetrators, victims, and personnel of government and community organisations.” (APS, 2020)
This course introduces you to the necessary knowledge and training that enable psychologists to work in forensic settings. It details the training requirements and pathways towards registration, and identifies the roles and responsibilities of professional practice.
The course is suitable for undergraduate psychology students and graduates wishing to develop skills in forensic psychology.
The course launches on May 1 2021.

Stephen has been teaching legal and forensic psychology in Australia since 1992. He has been Head of Postgraduate Training in Forensic Psychology at two Australian Universities.

No, it's not a typo. Forensii combines all our favourite words - forensic, that's the "forens" part, and investigative interviewing, that's the "ii" part. Simple really. If you spot any other odd-looking words on our websites, those probably are typos. Sorry.
