Study Details: Two years part-time
The Masters in Community and Criminal Justice Leadership programme aims to equip you with the skills, knowledge and understanding of current issues and debates necessary to become effective leaders across the Criminal Justice System. This will include knowledge and understanding of the Criminal Justice System as well as understanding theories that inform current practice.
We have designed the programme to support the university's commitment to the public good and UN SDG 16 by equipping our graduates to become leaders in prison, probation, police, youth custody, and third sector roles. We aim to empower our graduates to foster fairness and safety in society, and lead organisations where discrimination, abuse of power, and harmful practices are eliminated.
You will develop skills in conducting comprehensive background investigations, analysis, research, and inquiries using established methods. These skills will be applied to support the personal development and practices of the teams you will lead, such as fostering reflective and anti-discriminatory practices.
You need to demonstrate that you can work at Master's level which can be
achieved through having a bachelor's degree, at 2:2 or above, or by having
a range of academic and work experience.
Where appropriate, recognition of prior learning (RPL) and experience can
be accredited on a discretionary basis. You may be required to complete a
portfolio of learning or pre-course assignment.
This programme is designed to equip graduates with the skills and attributes that challenge future thinking regarding criminal justice policy and practice, and develops creativity and innovation within key leadership roles.
Upon completion of the course graduates could take up senior leadership appointments across the Prison Service, Probation Service, Police Force, Youth Custody and third sector. It ensures that our graduates have the knowledge and skills to work across any or all of these unique areas during their careers.
