About the course
The Master of Forensic Behavioural Science explores how human behaviour applies to criminal and investigative settings. You’ll develop advanced knowledge of forensic behavioural concepts and their use in analysing, assessing and responding to offending and victimisation. The course is designed for those seeking specialist skills relevant to justice and forensic contexts, delivered as a Master coursework qualification in psychology-related practice. The programme deepens scientific methodology, data interpretation, and applied research skills for laboratory and field-based careers.
Career outcome
Graduates can pursue roles where behavioural science supports criminal justice and forensic decision-making. Career directions may include work in offender behaviour programs, forensic case support, behavioural analysis, policy and program design, or research assistance in justice-related agencies. Opportunities may also exist in consultancy and community services that intersect with courts, corrections and policing. This is a Master coursework pathway aligned to psychology-informed forensic practice.
