Our MA gives you experience of designing, analysing and evaluating criminal justice and crime control strategies. Taught by world-leading experts, it’s designed to create sophisticated criminologists who can navigate the realities of criminal justice and crime control with confidence, skills and knowledge. At its heart is a strong focus on communication, research, problem-solving, teamwork and policy analysis. These skills will be developed through the classroom and through practical work with criminal justice and community safety organisations. Our MA also offers the specialist study of contemporary slavery (human trafficking), reflecting the globally important issue of criminal justice and human rights. Teaching is blended between weekly two-hour workshops and online support. Assessment is task-based and varied, and includes written essays, oral presentations, events organisation, engagement projects, research projects and problem-solving exercises. You’ll be supported throughout your studies with academic support tutors working with small groups to provide guidance and advice.
