The MSc Crime Intelligence and Data Analytics (with Advanced Practice) course helps you develop the high-quality, necessary skills to work in these sectors.
The work boundaries of traditional police intelligence analysts and digital forensic investigators are becoming blurred. Analysts now need to be cyber aware and understand how communication records and web search histories can be extracted and analysed.
This course covers these areas and the theories to help understand the causes of crime and the prevention measures to stabilise and reverse these trends. You develop the skills to work effectively with large datasets, allowing you to make more informed decisions in relation to criminal investigations. Key features include writing code to quickly clean up data and packaging it so it’s suitable for analysis and visualisation. You also develop confidence in applying these skills to make more sense of the data – analysing social media activity, searched words and images, geolocation points or big data. You explore strategies employed in forensic investigation and develop your own area of interest in a research project where you maximise your skillsets, from academic writing to data analytics.
This two-year master’s degree with advanced practice enhances your qualification by adding to the one-year master’s programme a vocational or research based internship. A vocational internship is a great way to gain work experience and give your CV a competitive edge. A research internship provides you with the opportunity to develop your analytical, team-working, research and academic skills by working alongside a research team in an academic setting. We guarantee a research internship, but cannot guarantee a vocational internship. We will, however, provide you with practical support and advice on how to find and secure your own vocational internship position.
