Courses & curriculum
Year 1
The first year of the master’s programme consists of a number of core courses. In addition to those, you will participate in various skills labs during which you will receive hands-on training in forensic assessment, therapy and expert witness skills.
Year 2
The second year of the programme is focused on gaining practical experience. During this year, you will do clinical internship and research internship, and you will write your master’s thesis.
Some courses include one or more practical(s). If you do not pass a related practical it is not possible to receive a pass for such a core course until you pass the related practical(s). In the Student Portal the result for the core course will be noted as a Fail until you pass the practical(s). Then the core course will be adapted in a Pass.
