Our interdisciplinary programme is delivered through a highly applied curriculum, with opportunities to work with multiple agencies and across sectors such as business, law and non-governmental organisations. Ideal for changemakers, this MA considers the appropriate strategies for change and support for survivors on a local and global level, equipping you with the necessary skills to pursue a rewarding career, impacting on societal change. You will also gain an understanding of how agencies collaborate to target, dismantle and disrupt serious and organised crime in the UK. Why choose this course?

  • Co-delivery with practitioners and charities
  • Engage with local and global opportunities to apply your expertise on an international scale
  • Opportunity to participate in overseas study visits

Ideal for graduates with a background in social sciences, law, business and counselling degrees, this programme will allow you to develop your knowledge of human rights and the anti-slavery agenda in more detail, enhancing your high-level research skills and graduate attributes for various employment opportunities. You will explore the world of modern slavery including the current threat landscape, with consideration of the approaches to preventing exploitation, rescuing victims and restoring lives. With this, you will be required to consider the link to criminality and the responsibility of employers and businesses to end exploitation in the workplace, alongside other subtle traces of modern slavery. The programme will enable you to uncover the presence of modern slavery within the UK and overseas, with consideration of the global impact on victims and citizens, providing an international outlook on the challenges of modern day labour. This will enable you to identify the different forms of slavery including criminal exploitation, labour exploitation, and sexual exploitation and to investigate the methods of trafficking overseas and within the UK.
