Want to work in the criminal justice sector? Or do you already work in policing or criminal justice, and want to progress your career?
Gain an advanced understanding of current debates in criminology, in areas such as crime investigation, offender interventions and the ageing prison population.
You’ll learn the theories and methods of research, and become familiar with evidence-based practice – which is increasingly important in criminal justice and policing careers.
This course is taught and assessed entirely online, giving you the opportunity to study from anywhere in the world. It’s also available as a campus-based course.
We welcome students with a passion and enthusiasm for the subject of criminology. You should have a willingness to engage with the issues of crime, justice and punishment. You’ll study with an open mind when considering theories and evidence. We also welcome those who are motivated to use their knowledge and skills to make a difference in the field of practice.
This course is suitable for anyone with a good honours degree in Criminology or a related discipline. We’ll also consider applicants who are new to the field, or who have relevant work experience
