This programme provides an excellent opportunity to study global developments in the field of crime, criminal law, justice and security.
This MSc is ideal for students with a background in criminology, international relations, law, politics, governance studies or sociology.

The programme is truly interdisciplinary, with teaching provided by academics from both the School of Law and the School of Social & Political Science.
