One of the fastest growing areas of research and enquiry, the combination of criminology and the law has become a key interdisciplinary framework for understanding the way societies and their norms function, and the role law, deviance and how these are policed. Not only an academic qualification, criminological research and take students into the world of forensics, evidence, international criminal enquiry and beyond.

Another very popular degree programme, our LLM Law and Criminology provides the opportunity to study legal structures and application at the same time as learning criminological theories, policing and conflict. It builds on criminological and legal skills and knowledge so as to provide specialist training in criminological, criminal justice and legal research. The course programme enables students to develop an international perspective on crime, justice and law through national and cross-national approaches and case studies of other societies, and/or ‘cutting edge’ issues in contemporary criminology and law.
