Course summary
Criminal law and criminal justice lie at the heart of questions around how we respond to crime.
On this course, you will engage in advanced criminal law theory, as well as criminological theory to examine how societies can better understand and respond to crime. The LLM draws on expertise from the Department of Sociology, helping you develop an interdisciplinary perspective. You will be taught by lecturers whose research shapes the fields of:
- criminal law theory
- comparative criminal justice
- terrorism and international crimes
- financial crimes
- human rights and criminal justice
- hate crime
- sexual offending
- policing and restorative justice.
- The course content reflects their latest insight and research.
Throughout your studies, you will have the opportunity to network with professionals, practitioners, and activists from around the world. The global perspective you will gain will help you formulate critical responses to legal issues. These networks will also be valuable after you graduate.
Careers
You will gain practical abilities as well as critical and problem-solving skills valued in contemporary job markets.
You will be able to apply your analytical skills to a range of careers in legal practice and criminal justice administration as well as careers in the private and voluntary sectors.
