Our MSc Criminal Intelligence & Data Analysis Masters degree will expand your knowledge of the impact of emerging technologies, as well as the development and use of intelligence and digital media to support criminal investigations and improve organisational insight. You will have the opportunity to study topics such as cyber-crime, intelligence analysis, data science, practical data analysis and digital policing. This is a growing area of business in a range of sectors, from law enforcement to private business. Studying with us, you will master techniques in data analysis and the development of intelligence that can improve organisational decision making and support complex crime investigations. The use of ‘big data’ and new technologies is big business. It is also an area that offers many opportunities in law enforcement investigation and intelligence development. Develop your expertise in information and intelligence analysis, and the use of intelligence in criminal investigations. Enhance your ability to negotiate and debate effectively on issues in policing and law enforcement, specifically in relation to the development and use of criminal intelligence and data analysis. Strengthen your understanding in applying data to support tactical and strategic decision-making. You will also benefit from having access to our dedicated Police Training and Simulation Facility (the ‘Crime House’) to participate in practical workshops and have access to the Moot Court Room.
