If you’re looking to enhance your knowledge in criminology or make a change to the discipline, then our Master’s in Criminology and Criminal Justice is the next step to take on your career journey.

    Taught by lecturers with significant professional experience, you will gain a systematic understanding and critical awareness of key principles of criminology, developing knowledge of the history of ideas, the cultural context, and the social and political theories that inform and influence the practice of criminology.

    Students will graduate with the ability to identify appropriate methodologies for dealing with complex problems and design and successfully complete a substantial empirical criminology research project, systematic review or systematic case study, informed by wide understandings of criminology in the contemporary world.

    What makes this course unique is our professional focus, choice of routes and teaching approach. For example, you will be taught to analyse the intersectionality of criminology topics in relation to criminal justice organisations and responses to crime, harm, deviance and victimisation.
