Bachelor of Criminal Justice and Criminology

Overview of the course

During your Bachelor of Criminal Justice and Criminology, you will learn to demystify the criminal mind and assist victims and perpetrators to navigate the Australian legal system.

Your units will cover different causes of crime and the manner in which society through the police, courts, corrections systems and victims support services responds to crime.

The course examines local and global criminality, traditional approaches and responses to crime, as well as emerging trends and practices. It focuses on technological and other scientific advances which impact on the criminal justice sector, including an emphasis on predicting the commission of crime, detecting and stopping criminal behaviour and implementing effective and efficient criminal sanctions.

Our graduates work in the areas of law enforcement, corrections, offender rehabilitation, victim support and government policy development.
