Designed by leading UCL academics in collaboration with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and an array of public and private sector organisations working in crime reduction security and law enforcement, this innovative integrated course gives you the chance to position yourself at the forefront of security and crime science research.
The multidisciplinary approach developed by the UCL Department of Security and Crime Science draws together expertise from across social sciences, engineering and computing. We use evidence-based techniques to prevent and control crime and security problems, and to detect offenders. You will work alongside a diverse group of peers from all kinds of professional and academic backgrounds, developing an advanced toolkit of research design and statistical analysis techniques. You will then put these skills to good use, analysing real-world problems and security issues and devising data-led strategies, culminating in your self-directed research project.
In addition to our four-year integrated Security Science MRes and MPhil/PhD, we also offer a Security and Crime Science MPhil/PhD for those with existing expertise in security and crime science.
