Career Paths

In the current professional situation in the public and private sectors, there is a need for professionals from a range of disciplines to work together. In the public sector, the dual pathway meets the academic needs of public examinations for legal and criminology bodies (for example, law professionals specialized in criminology in the prison administration). In the private sector, the dual pathway provides the training required to work in law firms specialized in criminal law, multidisciplinary teams who draw up crime prevention models, third sector entities, and highly specialized consultancies.
