LLM Criminal Law and Justice

The LLM Criminal Law and Justice at the University of Suffolk allows students to gain a better understanding of criminal law and justice while developing expertise in the principles of English criminal law, with a focus on the practices of presenting, analysing and evaluating evidence. The course uses psychological research to allow students to help students understand the practical application of witness testimony and other types of evidence.

Students also get access to the university's psychology labs and mock courtroom to test and develop ideas on the impact of context and memory on the reliability of testimony and evidence. The independent project will bring together students' work undertaken in previous modules, enhance their knowledge of law and challenge them to develop a proposal into a practice-relevant project that can lead to future developments in their field.
