Introduction
Following a pathway in International Criminal Justice enables you to develop a critical understanding of the operation of international and transnational criminal justice, particularly in contexts that are perceived to be controversial or in a state of evolution. You learn about the main legal instruments and institutions that provide for international cooperation and prosecution of international, transnational, and national crime and the impact of human rights and combine this with critical reflection of the broader context and the effectiveness of the law.
There is cooperation with the MA in Criminology, run by the School of Social Policy, Sociology, and Social Research. In addition to available law options, you may choose one module from the MA in Criminology. This includes modules on terrorism and sociological theories of violence gender and crime in a globalized world.
Students can choose to spend one term (either Autumn or Spring) at our Canterbury campus and one (either Autumn or Spring) at our Brussels center (returning to Canterbury to complete the dissertation) under our split-site option for this Program.
