Our MRes Criminology programme provides you with the advanced theoretical, conceptual and methodological expertise and skills necessary to undertake and critically evaluate criminological, socio-legal and criminal justice research. This programme encourages you to critically examine the theoretical foundations that underpin applied criminological research. You’ll receive specialist criminology and criminal justice teaching from research-active staff, studying core areas of criminological theory and research, including the relationships between criminology, criminal justice, and public policy. You'll also benefit from comprehensive, multi-disciplinary training in research methodologies. This will develop your advanced research skills and build competencies in technical areas such as data analysis, qualitative research, and research design. A broad selection of optional course units allow you to explore specialist topics in depth, such as: - Crime mapping and spatial analysis; - White collar and corporate crime; - Crime and networks; - Prisons in the UK. This course is eligible for the 1+3 studentship offered by the Economic and Social Sciences Research Council (ESRC) North West Social Sciences Doctoral Training Partnership (NWSSDTP), offering a unique, fully-funded route into postgraduate research. If your application is successful, you’ll be able to seamlessly transition from master's-level study to a PhD. Upon completing the course, you’ll be well placed to pursue further academic research.
