The Professional Doctorate in Criminal Justice provides an alternative award for the traditional Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The D.Prof is a unique programme designed for professionals working in the Criminal Justice sector who are interested in furthering their development as expert practitioners. Youll develop a critical awareness of topics at the forefront of criminal justice and the contexts and theories that influence practice in these areas. This bespoke qualification can be tailored to professional requirements, increasing the potential for personal development and career progression. The course has two points of entry - Stage One involves undertaking an MSc in Criminal Justice. Stage Two involves undertaking the Professional Doctorate Thesis, and a level 8 module. The course is either 4 years full time (1 year MSc 3 years Professional Doctorate Thesis) or 8 years part time (2 years MSc 6 years Professional Doctorate Thesis). If students are admitted directly at Stage 2 this will be reduced to 3 years full time or 6 years part time.
Students with an undergraduate degree will commence at Stage 1 of the Professional Doctorate Programme.
