There are three ways in which you can engage with this module. You should select one approach.a) Edinburgh Napier University has sourced a number of work placements relevant to the MSc Applied Criminology and Forensic Psychology (ACFP) programme. These placements can be applied for through a competitive process involving the placement provider, and the Student Futures Team.b) You may already be working or volunteering in a role relevant to the MSc ACFP and you may wish to use your ongoing employment (or volunteering) to complete the assessments for this module.c) You may want to pursue a new employment or volunteering opportunity once you have built up experience on the programme and decided where your interests lie. You could take this approach instead of doing a) or b). The programme staff, in conjunction with the Student Futures Team will support you in doing this.Through engaging in a work placement, or relevant voluntary work, related to your course you will explore the concepts, debates, policies, initiatives, and funding related to the area in which you will be working. You will also relate your work experiences to the academic content of your course and reflect on the value of your prior learning. You will undertake self-assessment and write personal Learning Outcomes to enhance your employability and confidence. Reflective and critical thinking will be a key part of your submissions.
