Hello all! I'm looking to connect with past or present students of the MSc in Forensic Psychology at Maastricht Uni - I've been offered a place and wanted to ask them some questions about the course and their future career pathways - specifically if any UK nationals applied for and were awarded BPS accreditation for the course after they graduated?
If this is the wrong place to write, I apologise - and if you know of a better group to ask please do advise me! :)
