Dr Maryse Tennant

Senior Lecturer

School of Law, Policing and Social Sciences

Senior Lecturer in Criminology and currently act as the Course Director for all undergraduate criminology courses. Chair of the School Ethics Committee.

I joined the criminology team at CCCU in November 2013. My academic journey began with my undergraduate studies at Keele University whose interdisciplinary approach fostered a life long interest in research across and between several disciplines. Awarded a first class honours degree in Criminology and Psychology I went on to work and volunteer for several homlessness charities following my graduation. In 2005 I was awarded an ECRF scholarship to complete a Masters in Criminology and Research Methods followed by my PhD, which was awarded in 2011.

During my time at CCCU I have taught on a number of modules for our criminology and policing modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I also supervise and examine postgraduate research students for both masters and PhD research. I have recently been involved in validating two criminology pathways as part of an interdisciplinary masters course and am now Course Director for all out Criminology undergraduate courses. My leadership roles within the School include research and ethics.
