There are two types of assessments: practice (also called formative) or formal (also called summative). Practice assessments do not count towards your final mark. These are your chance to test your understanding – and learn how to improve for the real thing. You’ll have formal assessments at the end of each module. These could include essays, reports, e-posters, e presentation, a problem-based assignment or portfolios.

You’ll normally be expected to hold a relevant honours degree with at least a 2:1 from a recognised university or body. If you have an undergraduate degree in Sociology, Criminology or a related discipline you will be eligible to apply for this course. If students do not have the required qualification but have professional experience, we would encourage you to apply as we consider all applications on their individual merit.
