Our Criminology MSc has been designed for graduates and practitioners with an appropriate first degree (e.g. criminology, sociology, social sciences) who seek advanced knowledge about issues connected with crime, deviance, control, the criminal justice system and social research.
This course also suits graduates and practitioners considering a PhD in this area, as well as practitioners in the criminal justice system and related government, security and voluntary agencies who wish to develop their understanding of the wider issues connected to crime.
