The MSc Criminology, Criminal Justice and Social Research at the University of Surrey combines modules on academic criminology and the criminal justice system with training in the full range of qualitative and quantitative research methods. This combination of analytic criminological knowledge and applied research skills ensures that students have a sophisticated understanding of the key issues, problems and perspectives in contemporary criminology, enabling them to pursue successful careers in academia, policy research and as practitioners in the criminal justice system. The unique emphasis on research methodology means that our students are able to think logically and in an informed manner about criminological problems, and are able to design, conduct and manage effective research on such issues.
