Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Criminology

Program Overview

What makes an act a crime? Who is a criminal? Why do people commit crime? How do they stop offending? What makes someone vulnerable to victimisation?

We recognise Criminology is a diverse area of study and offer you the opportunity to choose from these new specialist course routes:

BSc (Hons) Criminology

Studying criminology will allow you to explore the key issues and debates around crime and victimisation in society today, covering topical and dynamic content, and reflecting current issues, policy and practice within the criminal justice system. You'll understand the causes and consequences of crime and how we manage and respond to it as a society.

We provide extensive opportunities for you to volunteer and gain career-relevant experience to ensure you graduate with the transferable skills, broad knowledge-base, and critical awareness that studying for a criminology degree provides. You'll take part in continuous training to become a social researcher – which is a valuable extra skill to have for future employment. If you want to work with some of the most vulnerable and dangerous people in society, we'll help to equip you with the skills to do it.

We recognise criminology is a diverse area of study, so we offer you the opportunity to choose from three strands when it comes to your optional modules: justice, human rights and vulnerability, and violence. This will give you the flexibility to align your module choices to your chosen career pathway.
