Build critical in-depth knowledge of 21st century criminological issues in a global and domestic context. Our MSc Criminology programme utilises a research led teaching approach where modules are designed and delivered by active and publishing academic researchers which ensures a range of dynamic themes and criminological perspectives. You will engage with real world issues in bespoke workshops offering diverse teaching approaches such as lectures, debates, student discussions and group tasks. During this year you will study core modules in criminological theory and research design, covering the advanced study of critical and theoretical perspectives within criminology and criminal justice and preparing you for writing a dissertation. In the two bespoke modules 'Global Inequality, Vulnerability and Justice' and 'Crime, Culture and Control' you will have the opportunity to study a wide range of criminological issues, each of which is taught by an active researcher in that field. Gain a relevant, advanced and sophisticated understanding of contemporary criminology and the skills necessary to strengthen your competencies as both a learner and practitioner. Key features: • Engage with real world problems and issues - the MSc Criminology adopts a problem-based approach to learning. • Learn from internationally recognised, research-active staff who ensure the programme is at the cutting edge of developments in criminological theory and criminal justice policy and practice. • Experience criminology’s interdisciplinary approach which draws upon sociology, psychology, history, politics, international relations, geography, law and many other subjects. • Participate in contemporary and relevant applied criminological research through our strategic partnerships with regional (police, youth justice, probation), national (Howard League for Penal Reform, Children’s Rights Alliance, Prison Reform Trust) or international (Amnesty International, United Nations High Commission on Human Rights) criminal justice agencies and rights organisations. • Choose a career in the private, public or third sector – highly transferable skills mean you will find career opportunities in a diverse range of settings.
You should have a second-class honours degree or equivalent, or an equivalent professional qualification. Other qualifications accompanied by substantial experience in an appropriate field may also be considered. Non-standard applications will be considered on a case by case basis. Applicants are required to submit a personal statement within the application form that addresses the following questions: Why are you suitable to study at this level and why are you suitable for a blended learning programme? Why do you want to study criminology at Plymouth? What is your specific area of interest? What do you hope to achieve?
