Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has a start date in September  

Postgraduate criminal justice teaching in the School of Law is distinguished by its strength in the international, comparative and philosophical dimensions of criminal justice.

Familiar ideas, concepts, rules, institutions and practices of criminal justice, rooted in assumptions about the nature and competence of nation states and their domestic legal orders, are being overtaken by historical political developments, seemingly irresistible economic forces, world-wide cultural transformations, and rapid social change.

The LLM Criminal Justice will encourage you to develop the intellectual skills, knowledge and understanding necessary for meeting the new challenges of crime and justice in the twenty-first century.

Since its introduction in 1987, our LLM programme has continued to grow in popularity and prestige.  Offering a wide and diverse range of over 50 options, the programme now attracts some 150 to 180 candidates each year, from more than 50 countries, confirming its status as one of the leading and most exciting LLM programmes available.
