  • explore the complex and dynamic nature of the criminal justice process
  • examine critical issues and principles in criminal law
  • develop legal research skills

From day one, we encourage you to think beyond your time at Leeds and reflect on a meaningful career.

This course is particularly suited to those who wish to pursue a career in public service, the private sector, the voluntary sector, or any other arena where success is built upon higher-level skills and advanced knowledge of criminal justice, criminology and criminal law issues.

Other alumni hold senior positions in criminal justice organisations including police and probation services, the prison service, and youth justice services, as well as in the private and voluntary sector, both in the UK and abroad. Some graduates have been awarded promotions following successful completion of the course.
