Course Overview

This innovative new programme combines teaching, research and practical experiences linked by four ideas – Culture, Criminology, Creativity, and Community.

Graduates will display intellectual confidence and flexibility in several different academic disciplines.

Though incarceration is often associated with imprisonment in jail or prison, the word has a host of contexts, including historical slavery, pandemic lockdowns, wartime camps, modern-day trafficking and even situations of domestic abuse. On this programme, you'll explore incarceration in various forms in the UK, US and other cases globally, far beyond the traditional prison context.

This course combines traditional seminar-style classes with unique environments outside the classroom, whether working with ex-prisoners locally or organising an academic conference on campus.

Students on the MA in Incarceration Studies will be affiliated with the Cultures of Incarceration Centre at the University of Hull, which provides opportunities to attend talks, present at seminars, and network.

General Eligibility

Applicants should hold a Bachelor's Honours degree (typically 2:2 or above, or international equivalent) in American Studies, English, History, Criminology or other Arts & Humanities/Social Science equivalent.


To ensure our students have a rich learning and student experience, most of our programmes have a mix of domestic and international students. We reserve the right to close applications early to either group if application volumes suggest this blend cannot be achieved. In addition, existing undergraduate students at the University of Hull have a guaranteed ‘Fast Track’ route to any postgraduate programme, subject to meeting the entry criteria (excluding Social Work).

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • IELTS 6.5 overall, with no less than 5.5 in each skill.
