We are pleased to announce a new multi-disciplinary masters programme in Security and Justice available from September 2013 from the University of Leeds.

The MA Security and Justice programme develops upon pre-existing expertise in the University of Leeds, and uniquely draws on the perspectives of law, sociology, criminology, politics and international relations to understand contemporary issues concerning security and justice. This multi-disciplinary approach enables students to gain a comprehensive understanding of international and local conflicts, transnational security concerns and core research methodologies.

The MA aims to enrich students’ understanding of the urgent issues of security and justice in contemporary societies, through the analysis of local and international conflicts and the study of transnational security concerns and international criminal justice. It will enable the development of an understand security and justice from the perspectives of Law, International Relations, Politics, Criminology and Sociology.

The MA also constitutes the foundational research skills and training for the “Security, Conflict and Justice” pathway of the ESRC White Rose Doctoral Training Centre.
