Selected major: Criminology

In this criminology major you’ll focus on why crimes are committed, how society defines crime and treats criminals, and what social factors and motivations can lead to criminal behaviour. Examine the systems and practices within policing as well as global crime problems, cyber-crime and security issues, and learn how to analyse trends, formulate policies and create systems to help prevent crime.

The Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science offers students a general understanding of contemporary social and cultural developments through a range of study areas, as well as a capacity to understand complex scientific information in a specialised field.

You'll develop a range of key humanities and scientific skills and knowledge related to current and projected industry needs.

Drawing on the expertise of leading teachers, researchers and industry experts, the course allows you to design a degree to develop a unique range of interdisciplinary skills.

Work Integrated Learning is a guaranteed part of all our bachelor degrees. This double degree has two units where you’ll have the opportunity to work on industry-linked projects. In Grand Challenges: Making a Difference (ART30001), you’ll work in teams and develop valuable collaborative skills as you research innovative solutions to contemporary issues facing society, and in Grand Challenges in Science (NPS30003), you’ll work on an individual research project to develop valuable research and development skills.
