MSc Criminology and Socio-Legal Research

Our MSc Criminology and Socio-Legal Research combines training in current debates in criminology with an introduction to legal theory and legal methods. It provides a good basis if you wish to conduct criminological research with a socio-legal dimension.

On this course you investigate topics including:

• Philosophy of law and jurisprudence
• Ripping, remixing, and viral culture
• Surveillance and punishment
• The English legal system
• Methods of social control

This course should also interest you if you are without a background in law, as we make good use of legal materials, in addressing our sociological and criminological research questions.
