Criminology and Criminal Justice South East Technological University

Overview

The Criminology and Criminal Justice  programme at South East Technological University  aims to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to evaluate theory and policy, conduct research and contribute to contemporary debate in the fields of criminal justice and criminology. 

The programme’s objectives focus on developing students' knowledge and skills necessary to develop a critical appreciation of the criminal justice system. It also aims to explain the contribution made by a range of disciplines to criminological analysis. This knowledge will form a base from which graduates can develop and inform their own practices and develop their identity as criminal justice researchers and practitioners.

Career opportunities

This MA aims to create skilled staff that will promote the effective management of a range of issues relating to crime and criminal justice.

The MA also offers a gateway towards practice by enhancing the skills and knowledge of graduates, which in turn sets them aside from other candidates in the jobs market. For those practitioners already working in the criminal justice sphere, this level of qualification will not only enhance their confidence in their own role but also allow them to progress to other roles which may require additional levels of qualification.
