"Studying for my undergraduate degree at the University of Brighton was both a rewarding and enjoyable experience. For this reason, I chose to continue my studies here with a Criminology MA, as I found this subject thoroughly interesting.

The Criminology MA offers you the opportunity to specialise in topics that you are particularly interested in as well as learning contemporary criminological theory."
