Security Science MRes + MPhil/PhD

The Department of UCL Security and Crime Science (SCS) uses evidence-based techniques to prevent and control crime and security problems, and to detect offenders. SCS is devoted to reducing crime and terrorism through teaching, research and public policy analysis.

The department has strong links with security practitioners and policy makers as well as researchers and institutions worldwide. It is multidisciplinary in its approach and draws on both the social and physical sciences.

We focus strongly on providing interactive classrooms where a mix of practitioners and new students keen to work in these fields can learn from each other.
