You will study bespoke content developed to align with our internationally recognised research in fields such as sexual violence, youth justice, sports criminology, psychology and the criminal justice practice, alongside material that develops a holistic understanding of criminology.Teaching on the programme is research led but student focussed. You will benefit from our strong links to a broad range of criminal justice and professional organisations. Studying with us will provide you with practical insights into current debates in the field of criminology, alongside transferable, employability skills which are embedded within our curriculum.
