The Program in Law and Forensic Psychology at Simon Fraser University offers experimental or clinical students unique research and applied experiences in the growing field of law and psychology.
In addition to the basic department requirements, students will enhance their experimental or clinical training by completing the requirements of the Clinical-Forensic or the Psychology and Law concentration, respectively.
Students will be able to tailor the resources available through their respective concentrations to suit their intellectual and practical needs on an individual basis.
Although related in scope, coursework, and other requirements, the concentrations of the two streams are quite different.
Students in the Experimental Psychology and Law Stream will develop research and applied policy skills in law and forensic psychology.
By contrast, the Clinical-Forensic Stream prepares those in clinical psychology with research and clinical skills unique to the forensic arena.
Due to the overlap of the two areas, students in both streams will take many of the same courses and will develop similar research skills.
However, students in the Clinical-Forensic Stream will further develop their clinical training to include forensic training and practice experience.
There may also be opportunities for interested students to do a law degree at the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia.

Students admitted to this graduate program have a Psychology Honours degree (prefer) or a Psychology Major with a strong research experience in psychology, and a strong background in psychology methodology and statistics.
Experience in a research lab is highly recommended. Incoming students must have a solid grounding in methods and statistics used in Psychology, as they will take advanced courses in both in their first year.
They also need a foundation in theory and a solid understanding of the literature associated with their research.
Please note that work experience does not weigh that heavily in the University's decisions. Your work experience will not prepare you for the rigours of this graduate program.
