Course Introduction
This course will offer you the opportunity to acquire advanced skills in criminological theory and research, and to apply these to a range of topic-based modules, and applied projects.
The whole programme is designed to maximise applied and research-led teaching, and to maximise the opportunities for you to produce advanced, critical research that benefits your career and industry's policy and practice needs.
To foster a public criminological approach to your own studies, the programme will require you to apply your academic skills to 'real world' debates and case studies - including those that arise in your professional lives - and through the completion of Social Research, you will develop the skills required to create critical criminological research outside of your academic studies.
