It opens up diverse career paths in the criminal justice and human rights sectors.The LLM puts you in a strong position to pursue a career as a criminal law practitioner in the UK (as a barrister, solicitor, member of the Crown Prosecution service, or in other parts of the UK criminal justice system) and internationally.You’ll take developments in UK criminal justice as a starting point and extrapolate from their study modern trends in criminal law and criminal justice thinking worldwide.You’ll learn by doing, for example in the 'Criminal Evidence' module, where you examine in chief and cross-examine witnesses in fictional criminal trials, before experienced barristers and judges, at the Old Bailey (the central criminal court) in London.You’ll explore some of the most cutting-edge criminal justice debates of our times, from the relationship between counter-terrorism and family law to algorithm-based predictive policing and the use of improperly obtained evidence in criminal trials.
