Aim of the programme
This is a taught Masters programme where you will critically explores themes in criminology and criminal justice. The programme has face to face seminars on each of the separate modules. These are supported by our e-learning web facility where PowerPoint presentations, additional reading materials and online tutorials are provided. You will be offered personal one to one tutorials to plan work or receive feedback. After the completion of core and optional modules, students complete a dissertation, where you can develop your own specialist area of interest.
Full time students will be taught in university the equivalent of two full days across the week during the autumn and spring semesters. In addition to formal teaching time, students are expected to devote considerable time outside of this to independent study (under appropriate supervision). This focus on independent (but supported) learning is particularly evident within the dissertation module.
This course is designed to develop within students an advanced knowledge of criminology and criminal justice. More specifically, it will inculcate:
- An ability to understand and evaluate contemporary trends and concepts in crime and criminal justice
- An advanced understanding of the principles and developments of crime control and community safety
- The methodological and analytic skills required to conduct research within the generic fields of criminology and criminal justice.
- An advanced understanding of specific academic fields that form part of, or are allied to, criminology and criminal justice
- A level of knowledge and skill with which students can prepare for doctoral research or research posts within the criminal justice arena.
