Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice

Why Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice?

Are you fascinated by human behaviour? Do you want to understand and contribute to a safer society?

Criminologists collect and analyse data to understand where, when and why crimes occur. They look for patterns – and question systems. They develop crime prevention strategies and work to improve societal safety and justice.

In this eye-opening degree, you’ll learn how crime is shaped by social, psychological and economic factors – and how a career in criminology can make a difference.

Build the skills to advocate for a more just society. Grow intellectually, ethically and professionally. Pursue careers in crime analysis and research, policy development, community advocacy, crime prevention and safety, corrections, victim support or youth justice.
