Course numbers fluctuate. Some years we have had 10 students, others as many as 30. Numbers are dependent on our particular strategy for that year. This year numbers will be restricted to between 10 and 15, so places will be very highly sought after. Students come from a variety of backgrounds and from a variety of countries. In the past, we have had students from the US, Canada, Sweden, Israel, Finland and Norway, Poland, Greece, Japan and South Africa. The majority of students are people with a degree in Psychology, with a few other people whose degrees are in other social sciences, and a few people with police backgrounds. Generally, preference is given to students who have good academic qualifications as well as some experience of police investigation, the law, or working with criminals. As the achievements of the course are becoming more internationally recognised more applications are coming from around the world. Thus, in any one-year we would expect between a third and a half of the students to be from outside of Great Britain. To give you an idea of numbers, in any one year we can have as many as 200 applications to process, so the course is highly competitive.
