Overview

The MSc Criminal Justice & Security degree at Cardiff Met is an immersive and dynamic Master’s programme designed to provide a deep and critical understanding of modern issues in crime, law, security policy, and criminal justice. By integrating diverse methodological approaches, theoretical frameworks, and global perspectives, the programme explores both personal and global security, addressing international peace, the use of force, and the protection of vulnerable groups. Beginning with a thorough examination of criminal justice policy-making and system operations, students will delve into the core aspects of the discipline, covering the UK criminal justice system alongside international perspectives. Key topics include international crimes such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, as well as serious miscarriages of justice and Honour Based Violence against women and girls. The programme also emphasises international peace and security within the broader context of global justice. A central module on research methods equips students with the skills needed for their dissertation projects, enhancing their knowledge of research techniques. Given the ever-evolving nature of criminal justice, the programme introduces a wide array of topics to help students cultivate their areas of interest, aiding in the selection of dissertation subjects. The dissertation component allows for in-depth investigation into topics of personal interest, supported by a dedicated dissertation supervisor. Throughout this Master’s Degree, students will develop essential employability skills, such as presentation, critical thinking, reflective practice, and other practical skills. They will also gain valuable skills through scenario-based role plays relevant to the criminal justice sector, ensuring practical, real-world applications for workplace settings.​
