Criminology MSc

A course in criminology studies the issues of crime, deviance and criminal justice that are at the heart of our society. On our Criminology MSc, we’ve combined modules in academic criminology and the criminal justice system with training in qualitative and quantitative research methods. Our world-renowned criminological expertise and unique emphasis on research methodology will sharpen your ability to think in a logical and informed manner about criminological problems, and to design, conduct and manage effective research and evaluation. Our Criminology MSc has been designed for graduates and practitioners with an appropriate first degree (e.g. criminology, sociology, social sciences) who seek advanced knowledge about issues connected with crime, deviance, control, the criminal justice system and social research. This course also suits graduates and practitioners considering a PhD in this area, as well as practitioners in the criminal justice system and related government, security and voluntary agencies who wish to develop their understanding of the wider issues connected to crime. All our criminology masters courses meet the British Criminology Society benchmarks for postgraduate taught courses. More details: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/postgraduate/criminology-msc
