DC662 LLM in Policing, Crime and Security
The new LLM in Policing, Crime and Security stream is a one year full-time and two-year part-time Masters programme offered by DCU’s School of Law and Government. We welcome applicants from Ireland, the EU and the wider world who are interested in both the theory and practice of policing; criminology, crime analysis and criminal procedure; and contemporary national, regional, and global security issues. The programme is the first of its kind in Ireland and will draw on the research expertise of staff within the School of Law and Government to create a vibrant, engaging, and transformative learning experience for students.
DCU is committed to preparing students for an unscripted future in the 21st century and this programme is designed to enable students to become adaptable and outward-looking critical thinkers. The LLM in Policing, Crime and Security has been carefully devised to give students both significant breadth and depth of knowledge on matters relating to policing, criminal behaviour, security studies and responses to terrorism (see section below for programme structure and module choice).
Programme Aims and Objectives
– To facilitate students analysing key issues in policing, crime, and security.
– To create an authentically postgraduate and scholarly orientation with genuine intellectual depth through a small-group seminar model that promotes more intensive lecturer-student interaction.
– To make graduates better problem-solvers, critical thinkers, and more confident advocates, thus preparing them for careers in policing, law, and public policy.
Careers
The LLM in Policing, Crime and Security caters well for those interested in beginning their careers, or seeking to advance further, within operational policing, public policy, criminal law, international security agencies, human rights organisations, European and international institutions, politics, and more.
Law postgraduates from DCU have established careers in the legal professions (including the Bar), in business, in academia and research (including a high proportion in funded PhD programmes and research positions), as well as in public institutions and NGOs.
