Our Pre-Master’s course in Criminology and Law will provide you with the academic skills necessary to study law and criminology related subjects at postgraduate level. You will learn to work independently and will develop transferable skills that will support you in your master’s degree and professional life such as, independent learning, research skills, ethics, and analytical skills.
ARU College’s Criminology and Law Pre-Masters pathway is aimed at students looking to progress to one of the prescribed postgraduate degree pathways at Anglia Ruskin University. If you’re progressing to International Business and Commercial Law LLM or Advance Legal Practice LLM, this pre-master’s course will present you with some of the fundamental aspects of Law and Governance to support you with your master’s degree. You will also develop the crucial academic and communicative skills necessary for successful study at postgraduate level. If it’s Criminology that you’re interested in then you will study slightly different modules, including Psychology and Ethics where you will learn why knowledge of risk management and ethical approval are important for research studies and good professional practice.
By studying Law or Criminology at postgraduate level, you will develop the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in international law firms and businesses, or for a career in criminal justice, such as with the Police, youth justice, the Home Office or border agencies.
