Bachelor of Psychological Science/Bachelor of Social Science in Criminology (Dual degree)
Program Overview
Combine an accredited psychology degree with a degree in Criminology, to broaden your knowledge and develop your competitive edge. You can qualify for entry to the fourth year of Psychology, required for provisional accreditation as a psychologist.
This degree
You will undertake comprehensive study in processes basic to human psychological functioning, combined with specialised studies that enable you to understand the causes, control, consequences, and prevention of criminal behaviour at the individual and social levels.
Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, and how they influence behaviour. Psychologists use research findings to help us understand who we are and how we think, feel, act and change. By understanding these aspects of human behaviour, psychologists are able to promote wellbeing and understand psychological problems affecting people.
Criminology critically examines debates about crime, and how various contested theories and values translate into criminal justice policies and practices. This knowledge and skill set will allow you to contribute to addressing the complex and changing needs of individuals, families and communities in the face of technological, economic, environmental and social change.
The skills and knowledge you will acquire from these combined degrees will give you a distinct advantage in your professional objectives after graduation.
What you will study
In the first year of your degree you will study the foundations of psychology, learn about research methods and statistics, and complete a common set of core subjects from a number of social science disciplines.
In subsequent years, you will undertake study in personality, biological psychology and learning, cognition and perception, and developmental and social psychology.
The Criminology major will focus on criminology subjects relating to offenders, victims and agents of control, multidisciplinary understandings of crime, crime prevention, safe communities, security, probation and parole, human rights, and community justice.
Additional electives and minors from the Social Science, Arts and Science disciplines are also available to complement your studies.
