There are also opportunities for internships, volunteering, and placements with organisations such as criminal justice agencies, NGOs, charities, and local authorities. You’ll hear directly from professionals working in the field through our guest speaker programme, which includes police officers, probation staff, NGO leaders and others working at the front line of justice.
