Make a career out of crime
Criminology is the study of crime and deviance – seeking to understand the causes of crime, the extent and consequences of crime, as well as methods of crime prevention.
What will you do?
Our Bachelor of Criminology prepares you to think critically about crime and the criminal justice sector, as you:
examine criminal and anti-social behaviour
debate the causes and consequences of crime
investigate policing and crime prevention techniques
question justice and corrections systems
learn how to conduct research on emerging threats, such as cybercrime, organised crime, and terrorism.
Where could it take you?
Criminology graduates are empowered to pursue a wide range of different employment opportunities. You may choose to work in an operational role in the criminal justice system, or within one of the critical external organisations supporting the sector. You may follow a path into other professional settings, such as policy-making, research, analysis or education. You could combine your degree in criminology with other degrees, majors or minors, to pursue a career in law, forensics or psychology, amongst others.
