Course summary

Open your mind to a range of perspectives on crime and justice, and the impact they have on society today.

On our MA Criminology and Criminal Justice, our priority is ensuring that you graduate with a professional skillset. This incorporates;

  • Drawing on a diverse range of Social Science disciplines such as criminology, law and socio-legal studies, psychology, sociology and human rights.
  • Offering a step-by-step theoretical and practical grounding in criminological research.
  • Gaining key skills for your own research project, including research design, data collection and data analysis, whilst benefitting from the support of a thesis supervisor throughout.

These three strands ensures a dynamic and outward-looking syllabus which encourages fresh thinking in the study of crime and justice.

How you'll learn

Our range of exciting new optional modules will enable you to specialise in key criminological topics such as migration, online harm, environmental justice and genocide.

You will gain a strong foundation of knowledge and be introduced to criminology within its historical and cultural context. You will also examine a range of contemporary issues such as global crime networks, mass incarceration, policing, organised crime and counter-terrorism.

The programme also offers a step-by-step theoretical and practical grounding in criminological research.

Career options

You will be equipped with the knowledge, competencies and skills to prepare you for further study at PhD level. The programme's practice-focused approach also equips students with the knowledge and skills required for a range of employment options within criminal justice and beyond.
