Apa yang akan saya pelajari?

A unique programme, based in Ireland’s only Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice, for non- lawyers who wish to work in the field of criminology and criminal justice.

  • To understand and think critically about the intersections between law, politics and social policy that come to the fore in the study of Criminology and Criminal Justice;
  • To apply knowledge and understanding of Criminology and Criminal Justice to real and hypothetical factual situations;
  • To conduct independent research and write coherent, well-structured papers.

Vision and Values Statement

This programme is for students, who already hold an undergraduate law degree or have practised law for a significant period who wish to deepen their understanding of the criminal justice system. It provides career-relevant knowledge, insight and skills to those working or aspiring to work in sectors such as policing, youth justice, prisons, probation and related voluntary organisations, as well as a good platform for doctoral studies and a possible academic career.

The programme nurtures learners who strive to understand and think critically about the intersections between law, politics and social policy, to apply this knowledge and understanding to real-life situations, and to conduct independent research and scholarly publication.

We strive for a learning environment that encourages students to work individually or as part of a team, so they can develop their own and others' leadership, teamwork and communication skills, as well as skills of quantitative and qualitative analysis of the social phenomena associated with crime.

To these ends, the programme makes intensive use of teaching, learning and assessment approaches such as small group teaching, in-class presentations (individual and group) and academic writing. A 30 credit dissertation on a topic devised by the student is an integral part of the programme.

Programme Outcomes

  • appreciate the strengths and limitations of key research methodologies.

  • unpack complex theoretical arguments and to render intelligible to a non-specialist audience, key disciplinary insights.
  • use knowledge of debates within the discipline and different methodological approaches to interpret empirical research findings and to critique research designs.
