Criminology & Criminal Justice - Waterford

This MA aims to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to evaluate theory and policy, conduct research and contribute to contemporary debate in the fields of criminal justice and criminology.

Applicants require a full Level 8 Award, an undergraduate honours degree in criminal justice or in a cognate discipline, such as criminology, social policy, sociology, politics, law, history, psychology or equivalent, and must meet the Institute’s English Language Requirements, where necessary. The programme will also be accessible to international students with such equivalent qualifications as no prior knowledge of the common law is required, though desirable. In the instance that programme applicants do not meet the initial entry requirements set out for the programme, they may be eligible to be considered for admission under SETU’s Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy.
