This kind of enrolment is designed for students who wish to study a single unit or units without enrolling in the Graduate Diploma or the Master's degree. Some Features of the Study Programmes. The courses at the Crime Research Centre have a number of features which set them apart from many traditional university courses. The courses are linked directly into past, present and likely future research projects at the Centre. We see a direct nexus between teaching and research and also between teaching, research and practice in the criminal justice field.
Students therefore have access to contemporary and highly relevant research.
The Crime Research Centre units involve intensive teaching with around thirty five hours of class contact per unit over six days. Each day's teaching starts at 9.00am and finishes at around 3.30pm. The overwhelming feedback has been that the intensive teaching method has significant advantages in promoting a focused programme with very active participation from students. Before the commencement of the intensive teaching period, detailed course readers and references are distributed. Students are expected to familiarise themselves with some of these materials, in advance of the unit and with others as the unit progresses.
