Programme Structure

Curriculum includes:

Students can study either full time or part time alongside employment or family commitments. In recognition of the fact that no two research projects – or research students – are the same, we offer a flexible approach to supporting you. You will have access to hot-desk office space and library and ICT support. MSc students will typically take two research methods training modules, which are also available to PhD students.
Contributing original knowledge to your chosen specialism in criminology and policing, you will develop your own research project under the guidance of an expert team of our academic supervisors. You will develop a 30,000-word thesis on the MSc by Research programme, or an 80,000-word thesis on the PhD programme. You may also have the opportunity, subject to progress, upgrade from the MSc by Research programme to the PhD programme if you wish to develop your MSc project into a PhD.
