The programme enables students to develop an international perspective on crime, justice and law through national and cross-national approaches and case studies of other societies, and/or Ôcutting edgeÕ issues in contemporary criminology and law. Students will also acquire a wide range of transferable skills.

Employment opportunities

Graduates will be sought after by law-enforcement agencies such as the police. Other employment opportunities include public administration: e.g. crime prevention units, offender management, general administration, and international institutions. Political associations and NGOs are also possible employers. Graduates may take up work for members of parliaments, for lobby groups related to the criminal justice system and to issues of social justice and law broadly conceived. Jobs are also available in research at universities and other research institutions. Of course, students may progress into further postgraduate study leading to a PhD.
