Summary

Transnational crime has become a major concern among policy makers around the world and its significance is growing rapidly among scholars as well. The MRes in Transnational Crime draws on Liverpool Hope's significant research strength in this field, and offers an innovative programme for aspiring academic researchers, policy makers, and practitioners with an interest in a subject at the cutting edge of contemporary criminology.

As the first of its type in the North West, this unique degree programme aims to give students a robust grounding in the study of transnational crime, and the nature of key theoretical, practical, and policy responses to it by state and non-state actors. Across two taught modules. Students will engage with in-depth subject teaching in this area, as well as advanced quantitative and qualitative research skills and the ethics and practicalities of conducting research on transnational crime. This will build towards the production of an original research dissertation that explores a contemporary transnational crime issue in line with the course theoretical content.

By providing students with a world-leading understanding of the core issues around this field and the skills to produce high-quality original research, it will allow them to pursue careers in and around criminal justice and security policy or practice, or to engage in advanced academic study via further postgraduate research qualifications.
