Bachelor of Criminology with Honours

Honors in Criminology is an intensive year-long program that enables students to research a topic they are passionate about. Students will have the opportunity to develop their own original research project and conduct empirical or theoretical research under the guidance of a supervisor who is a specialist in the relevant field.

It is the final year of undergraduate study for most students and provides students with an avenue into postgraduate study or into a career as a professional researcher or academic. Students who complete honors can demonstrate to future employees that they have important job skills such as the ability to produce high-quality work with minimal supervision, the capacity to engage with criminal justice agencies, and important project management skills.
