a forensic psychologist
Law school is not required to be a psychologist. You have to attend medical school for that.
Obviously, you would need to learn math and science. From there, you would also need some law-enforcement training and specialty college courses for forensic science.
Only if it says it by law
The actual position is termed "forensic psychologist," and it requires a PhD in at least clinical psychology or something similar, plus courses in law or criminal justice. But don't think that there's a big calling for profilers. Forensic profilers, like you see on tv, are inaccurately protrayed. Most forensic psychologists work in child abuse cases, and custody lawsuits.
A forensic psychologist applies psychological principles to legal issues and court cases. They may assess individuals for mental competency, evaluate witnesses' credibility, provide expert testimony in court, and work with law enforcement on criminal investigations.
Requirements vary depending on the country you intend to study and practice forensic psychology. In the UK, for instance, there is a very specific route one must follow via the British Psychological Society (BPS). You must complete a BPS accredited degree that provides graduate basis for chartered membership. You must hold a BPS accredited Masters in Forensic Psychology or have stage 1 of the Society's Diploma in Forensic Psychology. In addition, you must also acquire stage 2 of the Society's Diploma on Forensic Psychology, which essentially consists of 2 years supervised practice.
