MA Criminology and Social Justice

... United Kingdom
... Newman University

Course Overview

The Criminology subject area is situated within the Department of Law, Criminology and policing and builds on the successful Criminology undergraduate provision. The Department is small, friendly, and focused on providing students with a personalized, transformative student experience.

This course is uniquely designed to offer students a foundation of critical criminological knowledge through which concerns relating to matters of social justice, equality, and diversity are examined, promoting access to social justice for all within the criminal justice system and wider society.

This will equip students to be prepared for the ethical challenges in applying their knowledge to this challenging area of practice and inquiry in their future careers.

You will be taught by an experienced team of academics, some of whom draw on their experience within the Criminal Justice System, and all of whom are actively engaged in innovative research, which informs their teaching. This provides our students with contemporary knowledge of criminological and social justice issues to support the Newman mission to empower our students to transform society.

The Department has links with overseas institutions, with the teaching team being invited to present and share their research and knowledge, developing this extended academic network for the benefit of our students.

Students can study full-time (1 year) or part-time (over 2 years) electing to progress at their own pace. The program is timetabled to enable participation by working and to promote a work/life balance.

Students will be taught through a blended approach to learning that balances traditional teaching methods, such as tutorials, lectures, and seminars, with other delivery methods such as field observations, opportunities for workplace observation and learning, the use of virtual learning environments, external expert speakers, interactive learning workshops, and external visits. The program views your learning within the ‘classroom’ as one part of a rich learning environment, which includes your own lived experiences.

General Eligibility

Students should have a minimum 2:2 undergraduate degree in either criminology or in a relevant associated subject including but not limited to criminology, psychology, sociology, policing, law, and social work.

Equivalent professional experience, reflected through relevant work experience in a criminal justice agency or third-sector-related role, will be considered. Consideration will also be given to mature applicants with considerable ‘life experience’ for whom studying at the postgraduate rather than undergraduate level, is appropriate.
