About the School
The School of Education and Science at the University of Gloucestershire is a thriving and exciting environment to work in. The School’s vision is based on three key words: Belonging, Transforming,and Professional. We are a student-centred institution, and these three words guide our decisions, targets and ambitions for the School. The post-holder will primarily be based at the beautiful Francis Close Hall Campus in Cheltenham.
We have a growing Forensic Psychology provision at the University of Gloucestershire, currently offering two British Psychological Society accredited programmes (BSc Forensic Psychology and MSc Forensic Psychology). Our courses have been designed with an applied focus that enables students to combine theory with practical application, using authentic assessments to guide student learning.
We have a team of forensic psychology academics and practitioners who have experience of working in international forensic contexts and use this to inform their teaching at various levels. We also have a strong research-informed teaching ethos, and growing research culture within the Psychological Sciences team. We are looking to build upon our previous REF submission, with a strong focus on Forensic Psychology in the next REF [2029] submission, with expansion of the forensic psychology team forming a key part of this strategy.
The Forensic Psychology team have excellent partnerships and working relationships with numerous forensic organisations, including local charities and third sector organisations, HM Prisons, G4S, and local police forces, with these relationships forming a core part of the Forensic Psychology programmes, enabling students to access work experience/volunteering and research opportunities that will enhance their learning and student experience.
