LLM Criminal Justice and Criminal Law appeals to people from all disciplinary backgrounds with an interest in contemporary criminal justice and criminological issues and criminal law.

Our programme will enable you to develop a detailed, specialist knowledge of concepts and issues at the forefront of contemporary understandings of crime, criminal justice, criminology and criminal law.

In addition, we offer a wide range of optional modules in law, criminal justice, criminology and beyond: our students tailor the programme to their own particular interests.

You will develop a sophisticated understanding of national and international criminal justice and criminological issues. You will develop a critical understanding of central issues in criminal law.

We also designed our programme to foster key transferrable skills; a strong writing style, excellent oral presentation skills, an ability to evaluate information from diverse sources, and the capacity to think critically and analytically is beneficial in both academic and professional arenas.
