MA Organised Crime, Terrorism and Security

University of Essex

Our MA Organised Crime, Terrorism and Security course draws on state-of-the-art research to address key critical issues surrounding organised criminality and terrorism in contemporary society.We involve multi-level analyses of organised crime as a concept, alongside the impacts of urbanisation, migration and globalisation upon both the practice of crime and the ways in which we understand them. You will address cutting-edge critical, conceptual and theoretical analyses of terrorism and counter-terrorism. This course provides excellent preparation for further academic study, and many of our postgraduates go on to successful academic careers, both in the UK and overseas.Employment opportunities for graduates of this course include careers in security, policing, research, intelligence and justice professions.Others have established careers in non-governmental organisations, local authorities, specialist think tanks, government departments, charities, media production, and market intelligence.
