Overview

Crime Science, Investigation and Intelligence from Brunel University of London students will develop a critical understanding of the legislation, ethics and contemporary debates around crime science, investigations and intelligence.

Key facts

The course is designed for those who may have already studied criminology, forensic science or investigations and want to advance their knowledge and employability prospects, as well as those who come to criminology from cognate fields in social sciences, humanities, arts and law. The programme is also suitable for candidates who are intending to pursue doctoral research or other research-oriented vocations and require a strong foundation in theory and methods at the postgraduate level.

Our programme is stimulating, innovative, employability-focused, and will encourage students to look beyond traditional issues relating to crime and criminal justice to support students to develop more nuanced and critical understandings of criminal investigations.

The programme team have a wealth of experience of leading and teaching postgraduate degrees in criminology and criminal justice, with many of us having also professional practice roles across the criminal justice system, including former police Senior Investigating Officers. This, alongside our good links with government departments, criminal justice institutions and third sector organisations, makes us well placed to provide our students with links to industry and practice.
