The Master of Social Sciences in Criminology And Criminal Justice programme i has been a vibrant postgraduate programme since its inception in the Fall of 2009. It has made significant progress that has positioned it as a leading programme and one of the largest in Asia. The Asian Journal of Criminology and the headquarters of the Asian Criminological Society are anchored here in our department. The Journal has been included in the Web of Science and the Social Science Citation Index since 2017. The first Asian Association for Substance Abuse Research and the Chinese Society for Research in Child Development were also headquartered here as well.
The programme takes a balanced approach combining basic academic training with a policy-oriented, applied teaching and research agenda. In the past few years, we have attracted college graduates from Macau, the Greater China region, and abroad. Our students come from diverse backgrounds, including criminal justice, law, sociology, psychology, public administration, social work, business, and other disciplines.
