Summary
Whether dealing with fraud, organised crime, corruption or murder, an investigator will need to make crucial decisions on a daily basis. Yet outside of the world of policing, there are few professional courses that equip law enforcement specialists with these vital skills. Our brand new MSc in Investigation Practice aims to bridge that gap.
The challenges investigators face are becoming more complex, with many crimes now committed in cyber space and involving digital evidence. The nature of organised crime, including human trafficking, also transcends borders.
Investigators who work for companies could be grappling with anything from fraud to insider threats linked to counter-terrorism.
The Masters course has been designed to align with the professionalising investigations programme (PIP), which has helped transform investigative practice in police forces. It is equivalent to ‘PIP 3’ – the level of training undertaken by senior investigating officers.
Now you can gain a formal qualification that recognises your transferable skills and enables you to move between sectors. It is ideal for professional development or for those just starting out in their careers.
On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: MSc Investigation Practice
