Master of Laws [L.L.M] [Law and Criminology] From Bangor University

The course programme enables students to develop an international perspective on crime, justice and law through national and cross-national approaches and case studies of other societies, and/or Ôcutting edgeÕ issues in contemporary criminology and law. Students will also acquire a wide range of transferable skills.

In the Law School, students will be able to study a ground breaking course in Forensic Linguistics in the Court Room, which will examine the use of analysis of language in the criminal process e.g. was an alleged written confession actually written by a defendant or forged by the law enforcement authorities. In the School of Social Sciences issues such as sentencing policy, theories of deviance, victimisation, international terrorism, the operation of the penal system and theories of policing and law enforcement can be studied both from a UK and international perspective.

Half of the compulsory modules will be delivered by the Law School with the other half delivered by the School of Social Sciences, giving a total of 60 credits for Law and 60 for Criminology.
