课程特征 Course Features：
Postgraduate criminal justice teaching in the School of Law is distinguished by its strength in the international, comparative and philosophical dimensions of criminal justice.
Familiar ideas, concepts, rules, institutions and practices of criminal justice, rooted in assumptions about the nature and competence of nation states and their domestic legal orders, are being overtaken by historical political developments, seemingly irresistible economic forces, world-wide cultural transformations, and rapid social change.
The LLM Criminal Justice will encourage you to develop the intellectual skills, knowledge and understanding necessary for meeting the new challenges of crime and justice in the twenty-first century.
课程内容 Course Content ：
You will take 120 credits’ worth of full and/or part-time subject options during the taught components of this course.
Currently, some of the subjects offered in relation to Criminal Justice include:
•Foundations of International Criminal Justice
• Gender, Sexuality and Human Rights
• International and Comparative Penal Law & Human Rights
• International Criminal Law: Institutions
• Protection of Human Rights in the UK
• International Criminal Law: Substantive Law and Process
• Counter-terrorism & Human Rights
• Imprisonment and Human Rights
You will conclude the LLM Criminal Justice by undertaking a 60-credit dissertation; this is an extensive piece of independent research in a subject of your choice. You will benefit from the support of a dedicated project supervisor, the School of Law’s Skills Programme, as well as the generic research skills training offered by the University’s Graduate School.
职业前景 Career Prospects：
Postgraduates in Law find themselves faced with a range of choices when it comes to selecting a career. Some will have a very clear idea from an early stage as to what employment path they wish to pursue, while others may take some years to find the role that is right for them. No matter what your initial choice may be, you will find that the abilities that you have developed during your time at the University of Nottingham will have equipped you well for the demanding and often highly changeable nature of the twenty-first century workplace.
Our postgraduate students move into an extraordinarily wide range of careers following their time in the School of Law.
Many graduates either go into the legal profession or return to their previous legal careers with their experience and prospects enhanced by their experiences on the course. A large number work with NGOs or return to their countries with the skills and experience that will help them add to the future development of that country.
Of course, some students decide to remain in academe and begin a PhD programme, often remaining at the University of Nottingham, and some use the skills they have acquired to teach.
