Course Overview

Our MSc Criminology course establishes clear connections between conceptual theories of crime and justice and applied examples of how they affect contemporary societies. The course has an international focus that goes beyond the UK or Scottish borders, making it appealing for a diverse student cohort. The course content encourages the pursuit of innovative and socially just responses to the problem of crime, from crimes in the street or at home, to crimes of the powerful, crimes across borders, the much newer phenomenon of online crime, and the drug problem. Throughout the course, there's an emphasis on the need for a strong critical understanding of how research is framed, used, and developed, which is delivered via modules in data analysis and research design, as well as criminological and socio-legal research methods. Youll have the opportunity to explore concepts of criminal justice, the social contexts of crime, and a variety of criminological theoretical perspectives as well as applied insights.
