On this course, you'll undertake research into a law and criminology-related subject. With close support and mentoring from supervisors, you'll excel as an academic, and as an individual. You'll graduate with specialist expertise and qualifications, with transferable, rounded and desirable skills.

Your supervisory team will include a Director of Studies and one or more second supervisors with expertise in your research area. Much of the work for your degree will be carried out independently, and you will need the initiative, motivation and commitment to succeed. Your supervisors will help you to define your research programme, agree any associated training requirements, and provide direction while encouraging you to develop as an independent researcher.

You learn through:

  • Independent research
  • Mentoring with your supervisory team
  • Research training, including mandatory ethics and integrity sessions
  • Teacher training
