Bachelor of Criminology and Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)
Examine crime from a range of perspectives – including law, sociology and psychology – as you learn how to reduce and prevent crime, and help both victims and offenders in the criminal justice system. Explore how the mind works, why people commit offenses, and what can be done to rehabilitate them. You’ll have the option to specialize in Legal Studies, Criminal Behaviour, Crime Science or White Collar and Corporate Crime.
By combining your criminology degree with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, you’ll build your expertise in the social and developmental areas of psychology, and complete a unit in Family Relations and Social Development. You’ll examine leading-edge research and practical applications to explore how we make sense of ourselves.
