Open evening for MSc courses in crime science, forensic science, counter terrorism and policing at UCL
UCL’s Department of Security and Crime Science is home to some of the UK’s premier courses in crime and security including the MSc in Crime and Forensic Science, the MSc in Crime Science, the MSc in Countering Organised Crime and Terrorism, and the MSc in Policing.
This open evening is an opportunity to hear from the course leaders on each of our masters programmes, as well as finding out about some of our latest research. We hold a drinks reception directly after the talks to enable you to meet our staff and some of our current students, and ask any questions you may have.
This is also an ideal place to find out how to apply for the 14 bursary scholarships we have available each year for these MSc courses. Find out more here: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/scs/degree-programmes/postgraduate/scholarships

Our courses attract a strong mix of serving police, security, and crime reduction practitioners as well as first time students, and this has been a key reason for their outstanding success. In the last Research Excellence Framework exercise (REF 2014) 100% of research submissions by the department were considered world-leading in terms of impact, placing the department 1st out of 62 institutions in the unit of assessment. The department is based at University College London, ranked 7th best university in the world in the 2015/16 QS World University Rankings.
