Our Master of Arts in Criminology explores diverse theoretical and practical perspectives on crime: examining social deviance, moral issues, antisocial conduct, societal regulation, legal frameworks, justice systems, crime prevention, rehabilitation methods, and punitive measures as both social occurrences and policy considerations. The course provides foundational research skills in this domain. With its interdisciplinary nature, the program is jointly administered by the Schools of Sociology, Philosophy, Law, and Applied Social Studies.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants must normally have obtained a minimum of Second Class Honours Grade I in a primary honours degree (NFQ, Level 8) or equivalent degree in sociology, law, politics, psychology, history, applied social studies, or another subject relevant to the study of crime.
Applicants who hold a Second Class Honours Grade I in a primary honours degree (NFQ, Level 8) in an unrelated subject, or a Second Class Honours Grade II in a primary honours degree (NFQ, Level 8) in a related or unrelated subject, will also be considered under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) subject to a written expression of interest and/or interview. Evidence of written ability on a criminological topic may also be required.
In exceptional circumstances, substantial professional experience in a relevant and related field of criminal justice may be accepted as compensating for the absence of an undergraduate degree to the required standard, subject to an interview and evidence of written ability on a criminological topic.
