Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Honours)
Our Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Honours) explores in depth the causes of anti-social behaviour. With this degree, you will develop the knowledge and expertise to make a valuable contribution in the criminal justice sector.
Understand the complex causes and impact of crime, and the interactions of the legal and social policies that regulate society. In the fourth (honours) year, you will craft a research project of your choice, using skills in research practice and methodologies to construct a significant piece of real-world, socially useful research.
Subjects include forensic psychology, forensic science, cybercrime, border protection and biosecurity, understanding violence and trauma, as well as research-specific skills and methodologies. All students will undertake a community engagement in third year.
Graduate with well-developed research and analytical skills and prepared for exciting career opportunities in cybersecurity, law enforcement, intelligence and investigation, correctional and rehabilitation services and more.
Note: The Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice is offered with and without honours. The honours program takes four years and has a higher ATAR, as you’ll be expected to complete an honours thesis reflecting advanced research skills as part of your degree. It is particularly suited to students who have a strong scholarly interest in criminology and see their future in research and/or policy. The three-year, non-honours degree is suitable for students who see their future in policing, corrections or some other part of the criminal justice sector.
