Course summary
The Professional Doctorate in Criminal Justice provides an alternative award for the traditional Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The DProf is a unique programme designed for professionals working in the Criminal Justice sector who are interested in furthering their development as expert practitioners.
Youll develop a critical awareness of topics at the forefront of criminal justice and the contexts and theories that influence practice in these areas.
This bespoke qualification can be tailored to professional requirements, increasing the potential for personal development and career progression.
The course has two points of entry:
Stage 1 involves undertaking an MSc in Criminal Justice
Stage 2 involves undertaking the professional doctorate thesis and a Level 8 module
The course is either:
Four years full-time (one year MSc and three years maximum for the professional doctorate thesis) or
Seven years part-time (two years MSc and five years maximum professional doctorate thesis)
If you are admitted directly at Stage 2 this will be reduced to three years full-time maximum or five years part-time maximum.
Why study with us
Online resources provide the flexibility to study when and where it suits you, within a guided and structured framework.
The course is taught by lecturers with frontline experience in criminal justice organisations and those who are research active in this area.鈥���
