Forensic psychology is a dynamically developing field of applied psychology. Given its broad range of practical applications, systematic education in this area deserves particular attention. The aim of this paper is to present possibilities for teaching forensic psychology topics at secondary schools and universities and to offer suggestions and recommendations for developing educational content appropriate to the level and focus of study. The first part of the presentation focuses on secondary education and discusses possibilities for integrating basic forensic psychology topics into civics and social science curricula. Attention then turns to university education, both within accredited psychology degree programmes and in non-psychology programmes, such as law, security studies, social work, and healthcare-related fields. Finally, the paper presents a concept for teaching a core foundation in forensic psychology, complemented by specialised topics reflecting the specific needs of individual degree programmes and students’ intended professional pathways.
