International Criminology

This programme offers students the opportunity to study criminology at an advanced level. The MA encompasses in-depth investigation of major theoretical and substantive issues in contemporary criminology from a critical perspective and within an international context. Options exist for students to defer the programme at intermediate stages with a Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma.

The programme appeals to those wishing to extend their knowledge of criminology, to explore alternative approaches and perspectives, and to broaden their understanding within an interdisciplinary, comparative and international context.

Students develop advanced skills in critical analysis, research, and application in professional practice. The programme is also of interest to practitioners working in criminal justice, social care, crime prevention and community safety, youth offending and youth justice, forensics, child protection and victim support.
