- to offer up-to-date and high-quality degree courses, introducing students to some of the most important theory, methods and research in criminology;
- to offer a sound academic foundation to those who aspire to undertake a PhD or a career in teaching and research in criminology or related fields; and
- to provide a sound foundation of knowledge and methodological skills to those who wish to work in a wide range of criminal justice agencies, the legal profession, or other professional or voluntary organisations.
Compulsory modules on Criminological Theories and Research Methods familiarise students with historic and contemporary criminological thinking and research.
A variety of optional seminars are on offer each year covering a wide range of criminological topics. What is on offer varies by year, but in recent years it has included topics such as Policing; the Sociology of Prison Life; Victims and Injustice; Punishment and Mercy; Socio-critical Perspectives on Criminal Justice; History of Violence; Global Perspectives on Violence; People, Places and Crime; Organised Crime, and Neurocriminology.
The MPhil in Criminology does not require empirical research as part of the final thesis and, therefore, does not include the practical training in advanced research methods (which are both provided in-house and through the Social Sciences Research Methods Programme).
