Course Overview

Our MA Criminology course has been designed for both recent graduates and practitioners who wish to develop their understanding of the debates surrounding crime and the criminal justice system. It offers an exciting opportunity to study both theoretical criminology and the more applied aspects of criminology and criminal justice issues. The course has three formal stages: The Diploma stages consist of three taught modules, a proposal module that is delivered through workgroups and a practice-based module involving reflection upon work or volunteering experience. Those proceeding to the Master's stage will be required to complete an extended project to be determined individually. It is possible to complete your studies at any of the Certificate, Diploma, or Master's stages. Full-time students will complete all these stages in one year. Part-time students would normally complete the diploma and master's stages over two years.
