About the course
Get the expertise you need in criminal justice and intelligence from an international perspective on this MSc International Criminal Justice and Intelligence degree. Study your way, with full-time or part-time options on campus, or part-time by distance learning. You'll view crime control from a global stance, assessing models of justice and philosophies of punishment from around the world. With a focus on the development of international criminal law and human rights, you'll evaluate the workings of international courts and tribunals, the operation of the UN, and regional and national structures of international justice. You?ll also apply your research, analysis and management skills to the growing field of criminal intelligence. Explore security and intelligence in the public and private sectors, broaden your understanding of open and d sources, and evaluate existing models and principles, such as the intelligence cycle. You?ll probe the limitations of analytical services available to intelligence professionals, and study the research seeking to overcome these limitations. Alongside international criminal justice and intelligence, you'll have the chance to unpack topics such as missing persons investigations, economic crime, wildlife crime investigation, offender behaviour and rehabilitation. When you graduate, you'll be ready to bring in-depth international criminal justice and intelligence expertise to your career in the justice system. You?ll be equipped to pursue roles in the UK Civil Service or police force, the Metropolitan Police?s Counter Terrorism Centres, private sector intelligence services, or international organisations such as Interpol, Europol or Frontex.
