Course summary

How is technology changing the nature of crime, justice, and social harm in the modern world? From cybercrime and online fraud to digital investigations, artificial intelligence, and surveillance, the challenges facing criminal justice professionals are evolving rapidly. Our Criminology with Cybercrime and Digital Justice degree will help you understand these emerging issues while developing the knowledge and skills needed to respond to them critically and effectively.

You'll develop analytical, investigative, and problem-solving skills relevant to careers in policing, intelligence, digital investigation, cybercrime prevention, safeguarding, compliance, and wider criminal justice and public sector roles.

You'll learn from research-informed academics with expertise across criminology, policing, investigation, victimisation, and criminal justice. The programme combines academic study with practical and professional development opportunities, enabling you to apply your learning to real-world issues. Through our Criminology in Practice module, you will gain valuable workplace experience and develop the confidence, skills, and professional awareness sought by employers across criminal justice, public services, and related sectors.

Throughout the course, you will examine key issues including cybercrime, online harms, digital investigations, crime and social media, digital culture, victimisation, justice, and the governance of technology. Throughout the modules, you'll gain opportunities to critically explore how technological developments create new risks, opportunities, and ethical dilemmas. You'll also engage with broader debates surrounding inequality, social justice, race, power, and accountability, considering how digital technologies can both challenge and reinforce existing social inequalities.

Graduate Opportunities

Graduates will be well prepared for careers in policing, intelligence and security, digital investigation, cybercrime prevention, safeguarding, compliance, fraud investigation, policy development, and wider criminal justice professions. The degree also provides an excellent foundation for postgraduate study and professional development in criminology, criminal justice, cybercrime, digital investigations, and related fields.
