Criminal Justice and Criminology Entry requirements Normally a good Honours degree (first-class or 2.1) in an appropriate discipline, or a minimum of two year’s relevant and responsible work experience. Students who have previously studied in a related discipline are encouraged to apply, as are those currently working in the field of criminal justice who can contribute to the programme through their personal experience, and who can apply learning on the programme in their professional setting. Criminology is the study of why people commit unlawful acts; how – and why – we characterise crime in the way we do, and how the criminal justice system works. It encompasses a range of academic fields, including history, social policy, politics, and sociology, to provide a view of crime from a social and individual perspective, and it looks critically at how the sentencing system works. The Department of Criminology at Swansea University has an internationally recognised reputation in research, particularly in the evaluation of offender management and probation work, youth justice and crime prevention. It has close links with Probation Services in South Wales and the Channel Islands, and with local Youth Offending Teams, and is accredited by the ESRC as a postgraduate training provider. Students studying Criminology at Swansea University benefit from being taught by academic staff who have been recognised for their teaching excellence and who have “real life” experience in this area. The Department regularly receives high student satisfaction scores and boasts an impressive graduate employment rate of 96%. English Language requirement: IELTS 6.5 (with a minimum of 5.5 in each component) or Swansea University recognised equivalent. How the degrees are structured Each taught Master’s degree scheme is characterised by a combination of compulsory and optional modules, and students also complete a supervised, 20,000-word dissertation based on an individual research project carried out under the guidance of a personal supervisor. The focus of the research may be any topic within the field of Criminology and Criminal Justice. MA Applied Criminal Justice and Criminology This taught Master’s programme focuses on criminological theories about punishment and causation of crime, analyses of specific types of crime such as sexual crimes against children and corporate and white-collar crime, and the ways in which the criminal justice system responds to crime. It includes detailed exploration of the use of prisons and community sentences, the ways in which young offenders are dealt with, and the specific effect criminal justice intervention has on women and people from ethnic minorities. This Master’s is an up-to-date, high-quality programme that includes some of the most important theory and research in criminal justice and criminology. It also provides a focus on the application of criminal justice and criminological knowledge to the operation of the criminal justice system, with a particular emphasis on the understanding and treatment of offenders in the community. Assessment The taught Master’s degree is available by assessed coursework and a dissertation. Scholarships and Bursaries A range of postgraduate scholarships and bursaries is available.
