The Second-Level University Master in Legal Psychology and Forensic Neuropsychology is offered by the Department of Education, Psychology and Communication Sciences of the University of Bari Aldo Moro. It requires 1,507 hours in total spread over one year and combines in-depth study of legal psychology and of forensic neuropsychology applied to legal proceedings. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The format is mixed, in person and online, based in Bari. The master lasts one year, is worth 60 credits and costs 2,800 euros. The organisation provides for groups of 20-50 participants.

The aim is to provide advanced, specialist preparation to work as a technical consultant, expert witness or institutional collaborator, with attention to psychodiagnostic and neuropsychological assessment and to professional ethical aspects. The career opportunities are forensic neuropsychologist, forensic psychologist, legal psychologist, forensic expert and technical consultant. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
