MSc Crime Science with Cybercrime

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 5 years

Masters Degree Description

Modern technologies are often transformational forces for good, but they also leave us vulnerable. The reach and scale of these technologies can allow a single offender to unleash huge volumes of criminal activity, with vastly amplified harms. Join us on this Crime Science with Cybercrime MSc to learn how cybercriminal operations are planned and carried out, and how we can stop them.

Entry Requirements

Normally a minimum of a second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Relevant disciplines include science subjects, for example engineering or computer science; or social science subjects, for example, psychology, criminology or geography. Alternatively candidates may qualify for entry if they can offer five or more years of relevant professional experience (for example in the police service, or as a crime prevention worker).
