Our Crime Science MSc allows you to specialise in crime science, developing data-driven strategies and initiatives to prevent crime, and more effectively detect and arrest offenders. Unlike traditional criminology courses, this course focuses on how to prevent and detect crimes by treating the crime rather than the offender as the subject of analysis.
Combining expert analytical approaches from psychology, social science, statistics, mathematics, forensics, computing, geography and even architecture, you develop creative problem-solving approaches. You will learn to think critically about complex and evolving crime issues from low-level interpersonal and property crimes, right through to larger-scale financial crimes being committed by organised crime groups in cyberspace. You will then use advanced skills in statistical analysis and quantitative methods to design robust research projects to investigate them.
Using real-life case studies and initiative design frameworks, you’ll develop a deep understanding of the theories, processes and application of crime prevention. This will enable you to assess the impact of planned crime reduction initiatives and eventually generate your own novel proposals to address specific crime problems, making a positive difference to the lives of citizens and communities across the world.
In addition to our Crime Science MSc, we also offer several routes for students interested in specialising in certain fields:
- Crime Science with Cybercrime MSc
- Crime Science with Data Science MSc
- Crime Science with Serious Organised Crime MSc
- Crime Science with Policing MSc
