Course Overview

Our MSc in Criminology will equip you with a host of skills that will give you a head-start in today’s competitive job market. We work closely with the University’s Career Development Service to alert you to relevant opportunities.

Our graduates often seek and secure employment in statutory criminal justice agencies (police, prisons, probation, national criminal justice, and security agencies), forensic health settings, third sector agencies, local and central government (nationally and internationally), and social/policy research institutes. Moreover, each year approximately 10% of the cohort either secure or begin to consider opportunities for doctoral studies. Doctoral work often leads to employment in research or academic fields.

A postgraduate qualification from the University of Leicester is career-changing. It can be the springboard to promotion with your current employer, the platform from which to launch a new career, or simply an aid to becoming more effective in your current role.

If you are already employed, enhancing your career by studying at the postgraduate level signals to employers that you are committed to developing your skills and knowledge and have learned to a higher level. Postgraduate education at Leicester is a rewarding experience that enhances personal development.

Our Career Development Service is here to support you with advice on interviews, CVs, work experience, volunteering, and more. From Freshers’ Week to Graduation and beyond, they are here to help you reach your professional goals.

General Eligibility

Candidates should generally possess a First or Second Class honors degree from a British University or equivalent international academic qualifications. It is expected that this would usually be in Criminology or a cognate discipline. Comparable professional qualifications or experience will be considered. However, applicants will be asked to undertake a short written assessment where more clarity is required.

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. If your first language is not English, you may need to prove your English ability. If you do not yet meet our requirements, our English Language Teaching Unit (ELTU) offers a range of courses to help you to improve your English to the necessary standard.
