The Criminology in Practice - MSc at the University of Leicester is a course for those who want to combine academic criminological study with employability modules and the chance to undertake a work placement and practice-based research project in a criminal justice or related setting. The course has been prepared by lecturers who are at the forefront of research in this field, and students will learn how to critically appraise research as well as conduct and write up their practice-based research projects.
