Our MA Applied Criminology has been developed to offer real world knowledge and experience, offering you the opportunity to consider criminology in practice, both in criminal justice and applied research.
Our team includes former justice practitioners and researchers at the cutting edge of research and evaluation in areas such as youth justice, drugs and criminal justice policy. The experience and contacts this brings has given us the opportunity to develop a vibrant, applied curriculum including options of study in criminal justice policy, practice and theory, as well as the opportunity to undertake a placement in a relevant organisation. You will also cover research methods and carry out your own research.
We have devised this course to suit people working in, or planning to work in, criminal justice and related areas, as well as those looking for an academic career; there is no requirement that students should have previously studied criminology.
You will normally have a 2:2 (or higher) UK undergraduate honours degree (or international equivalent) ideally in criminology or a related field, however this subject preference is not essential. A postgraduate diploma, or a professional qualification recognised as equivalent to an honours degree is also acceptable. It is recognised that non-standard applicants may be equipped to successfully complete masters level study and applications will be assessed flexibly, while maintaining the necessary academic standards.
Overseas applicants will require IELTS with an overall score of 6.5 with no less than 5.5 in any category, or an equivalent accepted English qualification. Accepted English qualifications can be viewed here.
