Beschreibung des Programms

We will focus on safeguarding, digital victimisation, rehabilitation policy and practice, and risk and security management, among other areas.

In addition to enhancing your theoretical command of criminology, you will develop advanced research skills, suitable for theoretical and practical application. As a result, you will be equipped to respond to a range of complex challenges faced by multi-agency professionals with a remit to safeguard communities.

This programme is distinct in its comprehensive analysis of risk and safeguarding as criminological issues. This analytical approach is grounded in an acknowledgement of the correlation between the exploitation of children and adults at risk and subsequent offending behaviour.

On this course you will...

  • Develop advanced knowledge and understanding of criminology, risk and safeguarding informed by current practice and research.
  • Identify appropriate methodologies for dealing with complex problems.
  • Examine the intersectionality of power in relation to criminal justice agencies and responses to crime, law and order.
  • Form a critical awareness of the history of ideas, cultural context, as well as social and political theories that inform and influence the practice of criminology.

  • Pioneers of Art
    • Our Institute of the Arts has produced a number of movers and shakers in the cultural and creative industries sectors, including a Turner Prize winner (the highest accolade available to a British Artist)
  • Pioneers of Education
    • We are highly rated as a supplier of teachers regionally and nationally, our reputation is built on an exceptional legacy of education training spanning over 100 years,
    • The legacy of Charlotte Mason, a world-renowned educator who lived in Ambleside at the turn of the 19th Century, lives on within Cumbria, as evidenced by our performance in the Times Higher (World) University Impact Rankings 2020.
    • The Charlotte Mason method is based on her firm belief that a child is a person and we must educate that whole person, not just their mind. A Charlotte Mason education is three-pronged: in her words, “Education is an Atmosphere, a Discipline, a Life.”
    • The Charlotte Mason method and philosophy forms the basis of the USA approach to Home School, which is widely used throughout the USA to this very day.
  • Pioneers of Conservation
    • As a University, we also house the National School of Forestry, on our Ambleside campus in the heart of the Lake District National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Centre, where students learn the science and art of conserving and sustainably managing trees, woods and forests
    • Cumbria’s natural habitats support 25% of all species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan and 80% of our coastline is classified as being of international wildlife importance. Our Conservation courses are so unique due to the practical use of these priceless natural resources.
    • Our planet needs woodland ecologists and conservation graduates to secure its future, and so, we’ve designed courses (such as Woodland Ecology and Conservation, Marine and Freshwater Conservation and Forestry Management) for people who are passionate about protecting woodlands and the future of the earth.
  • Pioneers of Mountaineering
    • As a sport, rock climbing is generally accepted as having started in the Lake District in the 1800s. This was soon followed by the formation of the early clubs, with the early British pioneers making bold and epic ascents in the Alps and other areas of the Continent. The Alpine Club, the world’s first mountaineering club, was formed in 1857.
    • Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England, is located in the middle of the Lake District in Cumbria. This mountain is nearly 978 meters tall and the summit stretches along for 100 miles; on a crystal clear day, you get a panoramic view of Wales, Scotland, and even Ireland
    • World-famous mountaineer Simon Yates recently led an online interactive panel at the University of Cumbria to explore big questions about some of the country’s best and most loved landscapes. A team of experts were at the ready to answer crucial queries about our national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty.
  • Pioneers of Digital Health
    • The piloting by UoC in the summer of 2017 of a new “tele-triage” scheme has helped reduce the number of elderly patients admitted to hospital; the scheme makes use of high definition iPads which are issued to the care homes. Instead of dialling 111 when a resident falls ill, trained staff will be able to contact a senior nurse at any time of day or night. The iPad’s camera - together with information provided by staff who’ll be trained to take blood pressure, oxygen saturation levels and temperature - will enable the nurse to help diagnose and recommend treatment.
  • Pioneers of Literature
    • Taylor Swift sings that our beautiful Cumbrian fells are where poets come to die but, as she found out, here is where they come to write.
    • Cumbria and the Lake District are the birthplaces or home of choice to some of the UK's most famous writers including none other than children's book author and creator of the famous Peter Rabbit - Beatrix Potter , poet William Wordsworth, Sir Samuel Coleridge, walking guide writer Alfred Wainwright , author and broadcaster Sir Melvyn Bragg , writer and philosopher John Ruskin , author Arthur Ransome , and writer and creator of our beloved Postman Pat - John Cunliffe.  So, as a writer (or songwriter) you will be in good company.
    • Not only is William Wordsworth one of the most influential British poets in terms of the development of poetic language, but his insights regarding the importance of living in harmony with the natural environment also seem to speak more powerfully to us today than ever before. the poet was also one of the first environmental campaigners.

History and heritage

As a modern university, we are only 13 years old, but we can trace our origins back as far as 1822 (and even to AD120).

Arts and the Creative industries have a long history within the University of Cumbria, starting in Carlisle, in the North West of England, with the establishment of the ‘Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts in 1822, changing its name a number of times until finally being

Our Brampton Road campus in Carlisle which houses the Institute of the Arts also sits on the site of the vallum for Hadrian’s Wall . The vallum was a wide deep ditch flanked by large mounds of earth, providing an extra defence for the wall.

The University of Cumbria was established in 2007, bringing together Cumbria Institute of the Arts, St Martin’s College and the Cumbrian campuses of UCLAN.

Today we operate from campuses in Carlisle, Lancaster, Ambleside and London, with a presence on the Cumbrian West Coast, providing a unique timeline of the rich and diverse history of our campuses.

Our 10,000 current students and 43,000 alumni are located worldwide.

Research for impact

The research undertaken at the University of Cumbria is all about “impact”.

The academic impact is the demonstrable contribution that excellent social and economic research makes in shifting understanding and advancing scientific, method, theory and application across and within disciplines

Economic and societal impact is the demonstrable contribution that excellent social and economic research makes to society and the economy, and its benefits to individuals, organisations and/or nations.

All the research at the University of Cumbria tries to measure impact in respect of one of three criteria:

  • Degree of change – how much did someone change things?
  • Significance of impact - how much difference did it make to someone’s life?
  • The scale of impact - how many people did it reach?

The University of Cumbria houses eleven research centres, two of which are of national and global significance in terms of the research work undertaken and their impact

Centre for National Parks and Protected Areas (CNPPA)

Initiative for Leadership and Sustainability (IFLAS)

Examples of our recent national and international research projects and their impact include:

  • University carries out vital research into Kazakhstan Snow Leopards.
