Introduction
The School of Law is once again offering its MA in Criminal Justice. The course is available full-time (over one year) or part-time (over two years), and is a professionally and vocationally orientated, 21st century degree linking criminal justice theory, research and policy.
The MA Criminal Justice is aimed both at those who have recently graduated from an undergraduate degree in law, criminal justice or related subjects, and at those who are returning to academic study, having already launched a career in criminal justice. It is a high quality, flexible programme, designed to enhance the knowledge, critical and analytical skills that criminal justice employers value. This flexible approach allows skills development for those continuing academic study, as well as those returning to it after time away.
Another key feature of the course allows students to undertake a piece of research in a particular area of interest relating to crime or criminal justice. This allows for specialist knowledge and skills to be developed.
Career Prospects
Graduates typically progress to posts within agencies such as probation service, the prison service, social service departments and the police.
Entry requirements
A recognised first degree in Criminal Justice or Law, or a degree with substantial criminal justice, law or related subject content, of at least a good Second Class Honours Standard.
