Criminology at Kent takes a 360 approach to investigating all aspects of crime, criminal behaviour, policy and justice systems in both UK and International contexts. You'll learn from a team of scholars and researchers internationally renowned for their world-class teaching and publications, but you don't just need to take our word for it. Criminology at Kent was ranked 3rd in the UK Times Higher Education Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021. This means you'll be kept up to date with all the latest developments in the field by the very people making them.
The atmosphere is informal and friendly and there is a lively and diverse postgraduate community. Regular staff/graduate seminars introduce you to the work of academic staff and research students as well as academic visitors, and provide opportunities both for sociability and for intellectual stimulation. The large number of academic staff and our favourable staff/student ratios mean that academic staff are readily accessible so you can get the support you need to do your best work.
