Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy / Bachelor of Criminology (Dual Degree)

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Arts allows you to choose from over forty areas of study, and to develop the research skills, advanced discipline knowledge and self-reliance to acquire information, assess evidence and convey complex ideas.

Criminology is the study of crime and social control. It is concerned with the context, construction and causes of what we know as crime, as well as prevention, response and reform measures. It examines crime committed by individuals, groups, organisations and states, both locally and internationally and includes the study of policing, criminal law and processes of punishment within national and international justice systems. It interrogates diverse formal and informal practices and systems of justice and regulation. Monash criminology is internationally renowned for its global focus. We are concerned with crimes and social harms that cause widespread concern including those perpetrated by states and organisations, during war and conflict and in transitional societies. Monash criminologists are researching and producing new empirical and theoretical knowledge, setting the agenda for local, national and international responses to issues of crime that impact large numbers of people.



Major: Philosophy
Philosophy raises questions about the basic assumptions of every form of human inquiry. To understand these problems, assess answers to them, and apply them in real life, you’ll explore topics such as:

  • Philosophy of mind: What is the nature of consciousness? Could a machine be conscious?
  • Ethics: Is there an objective basis to ethics and morality?
  • Philosophy of religion: Is there a rational argument for or against the existence of God?
  • History of philosophy: How do the great thinkers influence us today?
  • Theory of knowledge: What is knowledge, and when should we change our beliefs about the world?
  • Political philosophy: How should society’s limited resources be distributed? What is fairness?
  • Aesthetics: Is beauty objective or merely a matter of taste?
  • Logic and critical thinking: What is the structure of a good and persuasive argument?
