Programme objectives
The aim of this Master is to enable participants to understand the different aspects of the issue of crime (types of crime, the workings of the criminal justice system, causes of crime, crime prevention policy, ways of tackling crime, etc.). The complexity of this issue requires multi-disciplinary training which combines sociological, legal, psychological and medical approaches. On completion of the course, which encourages students to develop critical and analytical skills, the criminologist will be able to combine knowledge of different areas in seeking a career in law enforcement, the protection of minors, prison administration, social defence, civil society associations working in drug addiction, prostitution, etc., security contracts, community service management and mediation, the private security sector, victim support, etc. Successful graduates can also opt for careers as researchers at universities or other research centres.
Programme's added value
Given the nature of the current debate on security issues, members of the ULB's School of Criminology promote the development of analytical thinking, which is essential in a field involving fundamental ethical aspects. The course offered by the school benefits from the rich, varied scientific supervision offered by members of a dynamic research centre. The classes in criminology are supplemented by practical sessions, study visits and seminars which allow small groups of students to experience specific situations or respond to precise theoretical questions. Students will benefit from a high degree of supervision and guidance for their dissertation and placements, which offer an opportunity to increase their knowledge of a particular field which they find especially interesting.
