Program Description
This cross-disciplinary programme is open to students and practitioners from the investigative arena. Students develop their knowledge of contemporary theory and practices in criminal investigation, relevant legislation, and information relating to criminal justice studies and criminal law. This course develops students' intellectual capability and enhances their understanding of national and international criminal justice systems.
This course is inter-disciplinary by nature and offers a strong academic base and theoretical underpinning. It has a clear focus which emphasizes the importance of relevant legislation, policies and practices, linking them to the overall theme exploring criminal investigation. The course includes a dissertation module which will enable students to focus on one of more aspect(s) of a criminal investigation of their choice and one, perhaps, not necessarily taught on the course.
