Course Description

The Organised Crime and Global Security MA is the ideal choice if you have an interest in organised crime and security matters on a global scale. This degree will provide you with the leadership, management and analytical skills needed to succeed in the field. You will gain valuable experience in research and the study of crime and politics. You will critically assess current policies and practices related to national and international crime control, as well as the links between these and international relations and politics. Option modules will allow you to specialise in a field that interests you, including international law and order, conflict resolution and contemporary issues in criminology. The institution invites visiting professors and experts in criminology and international relations to share their expertise. By the end of the course, you will be able to deal with complex issues both systematically and creatively, making sound judgements in the absence of complete data and communicating your conclusions clearly. The course is available as a one-year full-time programme or a two-year part-time programme.
