Course overview

Benefits of this course

You will benefit from the globally broad perspective presented in this MSc.

We believe that crime is multi-dimensional and should focus on the victim as much as the offender, the family of the offender, the community and the wider society.

You benefit from focusing not just on criminal acts, but also on the societal reaction to crime and cultural narratives around it.

Award

You can select to apply for one of the available exit points for this course.

  • Master of Arts (MA)

Who is this course for?

If you are an independent thinker who wants to work within criminal justice, or perhaps already does, this degree is ideal. You can undertake specific research that builds on undergraduate criminology degrees taken anywhere in the world.

An interest in data collection and analysis will also be useful as research methods form a key component of the programme.

You might have a background in science, humanities or law, and you might already be working in the criminal justice system.
