Our MSc Media, Crime & Violence is designed and delivered by a dynamic team of internationally recognised experts in criminology, media, and cultural studies. It's a unique and interdisciplinary course that fosters an inclusive learning environment. You'll develop a critical understanding of contemporary theories and issues in areas such as crime, violence, victimisation and justice. You'll also gain a cutting-edge insight of how media and cultural contexts influence how these concepts are understood and addressed.
By the end of the course, you'll leave with an applied knowledge and understanding of a range of research methods (both qualitative and quantitative) which can be used to analyse print, audio/visual and digital media texts, practices and consumption, as these relate to the core themes of the class.
