Hey!
I have picked criminology to do an undergraduate degree at university Durham or York. I want to do forensic psychology. Would I be able to do a forensic psych accredited masters even though I’ve picked criminology not psychology and what would the next steps be

You’d be expected to have an accredited psychology degree to complete an MSc in forensic psychology. People with undergraduate degrees in a different field of study, like myself, can complete a conversion course in psychology which is considered the equivalent of an undergrad.

Bear in mind that the conversion course is an MSc and you can only use the postgraduate loan once, so you would have to source alternative funding for a second MSc.
