The MSc Leadership in Criminal Justice and Policing course specialises in leadership and management within criminal justice environments including, probation, police, prisons, youth offending, and security.
This master's in criminal justice will equip practitioners, whether statutory or third sector, with the skills needed to advance their careers. Whether you've studied criminology or social sciences before or not, this MSc is suitable for anyone with a genuine interest in this area and those looking to become leaders in their field. Choose from a selection of modules which allow you to specialise in domestic or international issues, and in either policing or other criminal justice settings, or to mix these to suit your interests.
Explore a range of topical issues and threats which impact upon criminal justice and policing policy and practice, and engage with the latest criminological research and trends. Experiential learning is embedded throughout the course and realistic assessments will be complemented with a theoretical and empirical study of national and international criminological and penological theory, criminal justice policy and practice, and social justice.
Now more than ever, it's important to understand and address the variety of problems that crime and its control pose in contemporary society. This master's in criminal justice will enable you to recognise these problems and to rise to the challenges that they raise for policy makers and practitioners.
The teaching team are all actively engaged in research in criminology, criminal justice, or leadership. Our research practice gives our students a social science orientation which is distinct from MBAs in leadership and management. Our students become part of a community of research-active academics and local practitioners in criminology and criminal justice, providing ample practical opportunities to draw upon.
This criminal justice degree will provide a domestic, international and transnational focus on the subject area, and so it is suitable for applicants in the UK and beyond.
