WHY STUDY THIS COURSE AT LJMU? This Masters in Criminal Justice offers the opportunity for students, practitioners, and criminal justice professionals to critically engage with a broad range of issues that impact on the effectiveness and integrity of the workings of the criminal justice system.

Through exploring a series of theoretical and policy-orientated debates relevant to the delivery of contemporary crime control and management, and assessing their cultural, social and symbolic consequences, the course helps you to develop a comprehensive and critically aware understanding of the manufacture and delivery of criminal justice policy.

During the programme you will evaluate discriminatory practice in the criminal justice process and the causes of miscarriages of justice. Your evaluations will be informed by a critical understanding of sources of data and research methodologies and, through option modules, you will develop an in-depth knowledge of particular issues relating to criminal justice in England, Wales and elsewhere.

TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT Typically, students attend teaching on two or three days per week. Days of attendance vary according to timetabling requirements.

Teaching is delivered through a series of lectures, workshops and seminars by expert staff and local criminal justice professionals. The teaching team will ensure that you will critically engage with the theory, policy and practice of the institutions and agencies of criminal justice.

This International Public Health programme offers a broad-based understanding of health and its social and environmental determinants.

WHY STUDY THIS COURSE AT LJMU? An improvement in population health is increasingly recognised internationally as a key element of economic and social development and nowhere is this more evident than in low and middle-income countries. The focus of this programme is to develop the public health approach relevant to these countries, often referred to as low resource settings. Many of our students come from countries with the so-called double burden of disease; whilst still fighting infectious diseases they are also now increasingly faced with a growth in non-communicable diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and strokes.

This course provides a broad-based understanding of health and its social and environmental determinants with a curriculum informed by key international strategies, the Sustainable Development Goals and Social Determinants of Health. As well as exploring public health issues in low and middle-income countries, you will also gain a valuable insight into public health issues in the UK and the rest of Europe.

The Public Health Institute provides an excellent applied setting in which to improve your public health knowledge and research-based skills. The course will enhance your capacity to improve the health of the populations you serve and reduce health inequality. It will also develop your critical, analytical, research, collaborative working and evaluation skills - all key requirements in the dynamic public health sector. This is not a clinical course; it is a course which aims to enhance your capacity to identify and measure the risk factors linked to these diseases and explore alternative strategic responses to them.
