Open Afternoons
Postgraduate Research Open Afternoon
We encourage all prospective students to come and visit the University wherever possible. Even if you already live in Leicester, an organised visit to the Department will allow you to find out more than you ever could from a book or website.
The Department of Criminology's campus-based postgraduate research open afternoon programme for 2011 will be announced shortly.
If you are interested in attending a campus-based postgraduate research open afternoon please contact us by following the link below and providing your name, your email address and postal address. Please also include a draft research proposal or proposed research topic so we can ensure an appropriate member of academic staff is on hand to meet with you. We will then send out an invite when the dates have been finalised.
