Leading to:  Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Criminology
At Murdoch University you can combine a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) with a Bachelor of Criminology.

You’ll examine crime from a range of perspectives, including law, sociology and psychology and learn how to reduce or prevent crime, and help both the victims and offenders involved in the criminal justice system.

When you combine your law degree with a Bachelor of Criminology, you can choose to major in Criminal Behaviour, Crime Science or White Collar and Corporate Crime. The Legal Studies major is not available as part of the combined structure.

Major: Crime Science
In Crime Science you can combine your interest in science with your fascination for criminology. You’ll explore the areas of science that can lead to solving and preventing crime – and learn why more than one approach is often needed in problem-solving.

As part of your studies you’ll examine how crime hotspots are identified and how patterns of crime have changed over time. You will learn how data can identify and create opportunities for early intervention strategies and approaches to policing and crime prevention. Your studies will allow you to see the value of scientific methods in the analysis of crime trends and the difficulties faced by police forces in protecting the community.
