MA in Transnational Organised Crime

The MA in Transnational Organised Crime programme draws on the disciplines of policing and criminology.  There is no doubt that the increasing development and level of sophistication of Transnational Organised Crime and the policy challenges it poses to all states will be right at the centre of top-level careers in strategic security policy in the coming years.  A student who graduates will do so with a broad knowledge and perspective of Organised Crime, its operations and the methods and tactics used to counteract it and therefore will add considerable value within the sector they choose to enter. The programme aims to explain the key drivers and activities of organised crime in the context of globalization and the many parallels between the structures and operations of OCGs and big businesses.
