Course description
The course provides graduates and others working within the criminal justice system with opportunity to further their academic knowledge of the principles that ground the criminal justice system through critical and comparative studies of justice and the criminal litigation process and develop professional knowledge and skills in classes taught by expert practitioners and academics. Graduates from the course will have a demonstrable understanding of the fundamentals of criminal litigation including a thorough knowledge of key concepts, issues, approaches and debates in the field of crime and litigation.
The course builds upon skills developed at the undergraduate level through an advanced research methods unit, practical oral assessments/presentations and the use of technology throughout the course in teaching/learning and communication strategies. Successful graduates will be suitably qualified to pursue MPhil/PhD degrees.
Career opportunities
For those wishing to practice law, theoretical and practical understanding of roles and responsibilities of various personnel within the criminal process and of the criminal litigation process in England and Wales will enhance potential for obtaining graduate legal positions. Via practical case studies the learner will enhance critical analysis and ability to deconstruct a problem or situation.
