Presentación

1 year (Full-time) / 2 years (Part-time)

The Criminology pathway provides students with analytic and research skills, an interdisciplinary knowledge base (as criminology draws upon the perspectives of sociology, social policy, law, psychology, and political science), and practical understanding of the production of criminological research.

Upon completion of the course, students will be equipped with an understanding of:
•How problems of crime, safety and justice can be investigated
•What research strategies, designs and methods of investigation can be used to evidence problems of crime, safety and justice
•How evidence about problems of crime, safety and justice can be analysed, interpreted, communicated and criticised

Requisitos

A good first degree or a recognised equivalent qualification. Non-graduates will be considered if they can demonstrate, through some recent and relevant professional experience, that they have the ability to undertake the course.

This course is suitable for graduates in social science and cognate disciplines including sociology, politics, critical psychology, education, social policy and social work, criminology, management and business studies, history, area studies, geography, pedagogy, public administration, industrial and employee relations, and law.

Note: International students pursuing part-time programmes of study are not eligible for Tier 4 (General Student) visas and must have alternative leave to remain in the UK if they intend to study at the University in person.

Programa

For the taught component, students will be required to complete six 20-credit modules (5 core research modules and 1 pathway module). In all modules students have the opportunity to engage with literature and research relevant to their pathway (Criminology).

Criminology Module
SIT308 Contemporary Criminological Practice - Autumn term: The module considers the relationships between research strategy, design, methods and the writing-up or ‘narration’ of findings in contemporary criminology. It is argued that these relationships constitute the practice of criminology. Criminological practice is examined in relation to examples of particular research projects.

Foundations in Social Research
Autumn term: The module introduces philosophical/theoretical concepts alongside practical issues of research method choice and design.

Qualitative Research Methods
Autumn & Spring: This main aim of the module is to provide knowledge, training and practice in the collection, analysis and representation of qualitative data.

Quantitative Research Methods
Autumn & Spring: This module introduces students to the systematic collection and analysis of quantitative data, including a broad range of commonly used statistical techniques.

Research Applications
Spring term: This module critically explores the various applications of research to different settings. Students tailor their learning by selecting from a menu of options.

Core Competencies for Postgraduate Social Scientists
Autumn & Spring: This module introduces students to essential postgraduate social science survival skills. The module ends with an end-of-year Student Conference.
