Taught by academics experienced in criminology and law and researchers from the Institute for Crime and Justice Policy Research (ICPR), this postgraduate degree course provides you with an insight into cutting-edge debates in criminal law and criminal justice grounded within legal, criminological, policy and humanities-oriented perspectives.

This MA/LLM Criminal Law and Criminal Justice introduces you to theoretical debates and perspectives that underpin an understanding of the relationship between criminal law and criminal justice. You will be able to tailor the degree to your own interests with option modules and will be supported to pursue your own independent research on a relevant area of your choice.
