Graduate
Master of Arts (MA) in Criminology
Criminology is devoted to the scientific analysis of crime, justice and social control. It focuses on four broad themes: the social construction of norms and the notion of crime; the criminalization of specific behaviours, individuals and groups in our society; the analysis of the goals, functioning and impacts of the criminal justice system; and the examination of contemporary forms of intervention.The master's program consists of three distinct 30 credit options: one with major research paper, one with Thesis, and one with a Thesis and Field Placement. These three options are intended to form criminologists who analyse the major theoretical and methodological issues in criminology through the acquisition of a central body of disciplinary knowledge along with the integration of additional specialized knowledge that enable students to deepen the analysis of certain issues, achieved through optional courses or a field placement seminar course along with a placement in the field.
