Offering a postgraduate qualification for students to pursue their interests in criminology and psychology, this course is designed to develop your understanding of criminological and psychological theories and apply them to various types of crime and offending behaviour.
Exploring a range of perspectives and debates in applied criminology, it addresses key issues in the criminal justice system. A good grounding in research methods will provide students with the necessary tools to understand and critically evaluate criminological and psychological research. It will also provide students with the appropriate skills and knowledge to design, conduct, and write up their own research study (dissertation).
Our course offers a balance of practice-based, methodological and theoretically driven modules and assessments, designed to foster autonomy within the bounds of professional practice, independent learning and self-directed reflection.
It also provides academic grounding for students wishing to pursue a research degree or academic career, or gain more specialist knowledge in a particular forensic or criminological setting.
Successful completion of the programme will provide students with practitioner-based skills, understanding and knowledge to work effectively, and increase employability in a forensic field.
