Course summary

Overview

Study online and gain expert knowledge on the workings of criminal justice around the world on this MSc International Criminal Justice degree.

Delivered part-time by distance learning, this course enables you to fit your studies around your job and other commitments, and to start applying what you learn in real-time.

You'll explore crime control from global perspectives, weighing up international approaches to judicial structures and punitive measures. You'll take an in-depth look at international criminology, taking into account sociological, political and legal theory to better understand how we respond to transnational crime in different regions of the world.

Alongside your focus on international criminal justice, you'll build essential skills in research, analysis and management. You'll also have the chance to investigate a related area of your choice, such as missing persons investigations.

After the course, you'll have the expertise to begin or further your career in the justice system, ready to bring your skills to roles in international law enforcement, criminal justice policy, human rights advocacy and international organisations such as Interpol, Europol or Frontex.

Careers this Master's prepares you for

To keep up with the increasingly sophisticated world of transnational crime, global systems of justice must be ever-evolving.

On this Masters in International Criminal Justice, you'll develop the skills and expertise you'll need to play in part in this evolution, ready for roles within international policing, criminal justice policy and justice organisations.

Youll graduate with knowledge of practice and theory in the field, and the research and analytical skills needed for private or public sector careers in the UK or abroad.

If you already work in the field of criminal justice, you'll be ready to pursue higher-level roles, or to break into a different area of the discipline. If you're yet to embark on your career in criminal justice, you'll gain the knowledge and advanced research problem-solving skills you need to stand out to employers and contribute positively to justice system reform on an international level.

You could also go on to further study, or progress on to a graduate scheme such as PoliceNow or the Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme.
