Course Overview

The MSc Investigation Practice at University of Staffordshire is a postgraduate programme designed for postgraduate students passionate about upholding justice and legal frameworks. Based in Stoke-on-Trent, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 2-year full-time structure. Whether dealing with fraud, organised crime, corruption or murder, an investigator will need to make crucial decisions on a daily basis. Yet outside of the world of policing, there are few professional courses that equip law enforcement specialists with these vital skills. Our brand new MSc in Investigation Practice aims to bridge that gap. The challenges investigators face are becoming more complex, with many crimes now committed in cyber space and involving digital evidence. A minimum ielts score of 6.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 94% student satisfaction rating, a 90% continuation rate, and 73% of graduates in employment or further study.
