Handbook - Research Thesis (Forensic) 1

Overview

This course is for students enrolled in the postgraduate Master of Psychology (Forensic) Program.

Research projects may be carried out on any topic that is relevant to forensic psychology.
The thesis and research project are assessed across three courses – Thesis 1, Thesis 2 and Thesis 3 – in which students would normally be expected to enrol for Terms 1 to 3 respectively.
