The demand for specialised forensic psychologists in Spain currently exceeds the available supply. This master's degree prepares you to prepare and defend expert reports from day one, opening the doors to a sector with high employability and professional projection.
This master's degree goes beyond traditional programmes focused on legal theory or clinical intervention. It integrates expert assessment, report writing, courtroom advocacy and forensic practice into a single experiential approach, preparing you to practice as a private expert with immediate solvency.
You will learn to evaluate psychological harm, assess the risk of violence and draw up expert reports with methodological rigour, applying the COP Madrid guidelines and the standards required by the courts. From a practical approach, you will be immersed in simulated real cases, developing key skills for professional practice.
The programme combines specialised training, immediate applicability and a strategic vision of the expert sector. You will not only learn theory, but also how to defend your report in court and act as an expert witness in judicial contexts. Upon completion, you will be able to generate a quick income via expert reports in the private sector, with the possibility of subsequently applying for public competitions.
Its 100% online nature with guaranteed face-to-face internships allows you to combine your training with your professional activity. The master's degree includes 150 hours of internships in Courts, Prisons, Social Integration Centres and top-level private offices.
The programme equips you with the technical and strategic skills most in demand in the field of forensic psychology. Through an experiential and practical approach, you will be able to convert your knowledge into solid and defensible expert reports in court. The advanced training you will acquire will position you to gain access with a solid foundation to both private practice and public competitions.
