The MSc Crime and Justice in Practice will help you develop a critical understanding of how contemporary criminal, restorative, and community justice processes work in practice, both at national and international levels. It will also help your ability to evaluate the role and impact of applied justice policy and research with a critical awareness of the economic, socio-cultural and political contexts that influence the practice of social research in various fields (i.e. academic, non-governmental, third sector, business, government & policy).
You will use advanced research skills across both qualitative and quantitative methods, with a strong emphasis on ethics and robust research design and have the chance to apply these skills by designing and carrying out an original research project of relevance to practice.
The entry requirement for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at 2:2 (or equivalent) in a related subject (e.g. social sciences, law and humanities, including but not limited to criminology, law, geography, humanities, and business)
