Master of Science - Social Research Methods - Criminology

This Teesside University programme aims to provide students with an advanced training in social research methods which can be applied to practical and disciplinary contexts. It aims to train students in research methods to a level which meets core expectations of the Economic and Social Research Council postgraduate programme and the Doctoral Training Alliance.

The criminology pathway specifically aims to combine research skills training with an analytical understanding of issues in relation to crime, harm, victimization and offending; thus providing students with expertise both in core criminological knowledge and skills and advanced-level research methods training.

This course is suitable for students if they are looking to improve or develop their ability to research and evaluate policy and practice ethically and professionally, and if students are wishing to conduct research in an academic setting or pursue a career as a social researcher.
