Broadening horizons 

I’m currently doing a course in beauty therapy! I know it's very far removed from Criminal Justice Studies, but it has always been a hobby and I’d like to go travelling before I start my career, so I think I could bring it with me. I intend on coming back to the degree when I come back to Ireland.   

Approachable staff

Everyone is just so nice and the lecturers were all lovely, they were all nice to talk to and if you had problems they were easily fixed by just approaching them as well.  You never really get lost in a crowd too, you can always talk to people, so it is easy to find help throughout the University.

Great job opportunities
 

There are really good job opportunities, especially when you pair the course with a master's degree. Criminal Justice Studies at SETU provides a comprehensive understanding of the legal system, including the laws, policies, and procedures that govern criminal behaviour and the justice system. This knowledge is crucial for anyone aspiring to work in law enforcement, legal advocacy, or related fields. By studying criminal justice, individuals gain insights into how the legal system operates, ensuring a solid foundation for a career in various criminal justice professions.
