Course Overview

Our course provides thorough training in the foundations of criminology, exploring the nature of the crime, criminals, and criminal justice within wider social and psychological contexts. Social psychological approaches are increasingly crucial in understanding the interpersonal dynamics in crime control organizations, as well as exploring questions of criminal motivation.

You also have the opportunity to complete a supervised dissertation on a topic that inspires you, encouraging you to think differently and connect with live issues and debates, and preparing you for your graduate career.
