Pursuing a pathway in International Criminal Justice helps you gain a critical perspective on how international and transnational justice systems function, especially in complex or evolving situations. You'll study key legal frameworks and organizations that facilitate global cooperation in prosecuting crimes across borders, while examining how human rights intersect with these processes. The program encourages thoughtful analysis of legal systems' broader impacts and effectiveness. It collaborates with the MA in Criminology offered by the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research. Alongside law electives, students can select from criminology modules covering topics like terrorism, sociological perspectives on violence, and gender-related crimes in a global context.
Career preparation is prioritized across the University, and Kent Law School provides specialized support through an Employability and Career Development Officer, plus diverse internship options, professional events, and career seminars. Postgraduate students can access information about NGO internships, charity positions, and other professional opportunities through the School's dedicated Employability Blog.
