Master of Criminal Justice

UC’s Master of Criminal Justice (MCJ) offers you an advanced working knowledge of the criminal justice system.

The MCJ is a cohesive degree with taught courses, a research dissertation, and real-world project or internship opportunities for first-hand practical experience in criminal justice.

It has a strong focus on developing the skills sought by the justice sector, including bicultural knowledge and competence, critical analysis of current and future policy, and professional understanding and theories behind crime and rehabilitation.
The Master of Criminal Justice provides a professional understanding of Aotearoa New Zealand policy within government and public sector, and of the criminal justice system. Skills in research, statistical analysis, writing and presentation, and bicultural engagement within real-world contexts are solid foundations for a career in criminal justice.

Graduates will be particularly well suited for roles in Ngā Pirihimana O Aotearoa New Zealand Police, Tāhū o te Ture Ministry of Justice, and Ara Poutama Aotearoa Department of Corrections. They will also find work in Crown agencies, prisons, policy development and consultation, customs, private investigation and security, forensics, social services, and criminal justice research.
