I am currently doing my Alevels, and i am still confused on what to take after this…..

I’d really want to do something with forensic psychology or criminal law. I like both this subjects.

All I want to know is,

You could earn a master’s in psychology in the USA after earning an LL.B. in another country if your academic record is sufficiently high and contains the psychology classes and statistics class necessary for a USA bachelor’s degree in pyschology. However, you would have to look long and hard for a master’s program which concentrates in forensic psychology.

In the USA a Ph.D. or Psy.D. is needed to be licensed as a general psychologist and forensic psychology often involves addition training beyond the doctorate. A master’s in psychology leads to licensing as a therapist or counselor.

I wrote this answer in case you are unable to read for the master’s in your country or in case you wish to study here in any event.
