Bachelor of Science (hons) in Applied Criminology with Criminal Investigation

Program Overview

How can we improve services for crime victims? What causes miscarriages of justice and how can we prevent them? What should we do when children commit crime? Study Applied Criminology with Criminal Investigation at CCCU and explore answers to some of society’s biggest questions.

Our innovative and interdisciplinary course focuses on the intersections between crime, justice, and society, enabling you to understand the importance of cooperation and communication between agencies within criminal justice. You'll learn about the impact of social problems and structures, which will equip you with a strong foundation in criminological theories and a critical understanding of criminal justice processes.

You’ll explore who commits crime and why, learn how the criminal justice system treats victims, and why the law criminalises some harmful behaviours but not others. Our emphasis on learning through experience will enable you to practise investigative interviewing and ethical decision making. You’ll also analyse aspects of police investigations from a range of perspectives. Our applied focus builds key skills, preparing you for a wide range of careers in criminal justice and beyond and enabling you to become skilled practitioners capable of working effectively in multidisciplinary and multiagency environments.

What's more, you'll have access to unique facilities and resources where you can practise real-world decision making in our Hydra Suite. You'll also have opportunities to work with real cases (e.g. Miscarriages of Justice, Missing People), not only putting your learning into practice, but gaining key transferrable skills in communicating with industry professionals.

We know employers are looking for dynamic, open-minded graduates who can adapt, innovate, and collaborate. So we have designed a new way of teaching and learning to ensure that you are work-ready for when you graduate.
