Hi there,
I'm Anna, I took my BSc in Psych and Crim and now attending my Master's both at ARU!
Based on your question, I wanted to suggest you some options at ARU.

The first one is the one I personally took, Psych with Crim. Considering it's a merged course, I had the chance to have a better overview on both psych and crim, and when I had the chance to choose my modules I could choose options such as Forensic Psych and Investigative Psych too (and I totally loved them!) In this way, you'd not be tied to just forensic as you said. (Accredited by: BPS - British Psychological Society)

The second option would be Forensic Sciences. It is a bit different than what you had in mind, but it is all about crime scenes and forensic analysis! (Accredited by: Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences)

I hope this could help a bit more. I am sure you'll make the best decision!
If you have any other questions, let me know 😊
Anna

Depends. If the course is BPS accredited, no, you can do whatever. If the course isn't BPS accredited, then you won't even be able to do forensic psych!
