Opleiding: Youth Justice, Community Safety and Applied Criminology, Ma

Learning purpose

Our Youth Justice, Community Safety and Applied Criminology Masters fills a two-fold gap in current academic provision. It provides experienced practitioners with the opportunity to apply academic knowledge to, and critically analyse and assess, the context in which they work.

 

If you have a limited knowledge of criminal justice, the course offers a detailed understanding of the agencies in the criminal justice system, their functions and responsibilities. You can take up to a third of the course as an internship within a criminal justice agency.

The course's flexibility also allows you to complete up to a third of the course through work based learning.

• You have the option to complete up to a third of the course through work based learning
