The LLM in Criminology, Criminal Justice and Human Rights will be delivered by staff from the Crime, Punishment and Rights Research Cluster at the School of Law and the Irish Centre for Human Rights. The programme recognises the inescapable reality that criminal justice issues cannot be understood without also understanding the impact of underpinning human rights law state obligations.
The programme has been designed to inspire students coming from either directly from study or from practice to engage in life-long-learning, to uphold high ethical and professional standards and to appreciate the need to advocate for and adopt an evidence-informed and rights-based approach to criminal justice issues.
The programme's curriculum emphasises inter-disciplinary intersections and research methods training, to facilitate future or enhanced career possibilities in national, regional and international criminal justice agencies, NGOs, inter-governmental organisations and courts. Students will benefit from insights gained through visits to criminal justice institutions and participation in the Crime, Punishment and Rights seminar series and film series at Palas cinema.
This programme will foster intellectual curiosity and academic attainment through the provision of high quality, research-led teaching that bridges the disciplines of criminology and criminal justice, and law and rights.
Applications are made online via the University of Galway Postgraduate Applications System. Entry to the course is based on academic achievement as set out above and a personal statement. On occasions, interviews may also be carried out to determine the applicant's suitability for the course. Places will be allocated on a conditional basis pending receipt of all required and verified supporting documentation.
Taught modules will be assessed by either an exam or a written essay (depending on the preference of the module convenor). Students will be given options to receive feedback on formative assessments and presentations in a number of modules. Students will be assessed on their ability to conduct independent research on a specific self-selected topic during their Minor Thesis assessment.
