Summary

The MA in International Criminology and Security Studies draws on Liverpool Hope's significant research strength in extremism studies, green criminology, and transnational crime to offer an innovative programme for aspiring academic researchers, policy makers, and practitioners with an interest in subjects at the cutting edge of contemporary criminology. As the first programmes of its type in the North West, this unique degree aims to give students a robust grounding in the study of terrorism and extremism, transnational crime, and the interplay between crime and the environment. Across four taught modules and an original research dissertation. Students will engage with in depth subject teaching in these areas, as well as advanced quantitative and qualitative research skills and the ethics and practicalities of conducting research on crime and security issues. This will build towards the production of an original research dissertation that explores a contemporary crime or security issue in line with the course content. By providing students with a world-leading understanding of the core issues around this field and the skills to produce and consume high-quality original research, it will allow them to pursue careers in and around crime and security policy or practice, or to engage in advanced academic study via further postgraduate research qualifications.
