Postgraduate Criminology and Offending

Our MSc Applied Management of Offending Behaviour is a distinctive course for those who are currently working with offenders in probation, prison, youth justice, policing or community settings, as well as those aspiring to work in the criminal justice sector.

The course will foster the application of critical and analytical skills to the theory, policy and practice of working with offenders, while exploring the processes, contexts, risks and protective factors underlying criminal behaviour. You will also evaluate the role of criminal justice agencies in offender management and rehabilitation.

Alternatively, you can interrogate a variety of aspects of criminology and offending in depth on our MRes Masters by Research or PhD Doctor of Philosophy.
