About Bachelor of Criminology (057849B)
Students will discover why crime occurs, how it is perceived and how people can address it – and graduate with the skills to make a real difference in the criminal justice system.
Students will gain a deep understanding of the causes and impacts of a range of individual and organized criminal activities, from environmental crime to illicit digital surveillance. They will learn how to use this knowledge to develop effective responses to harmful behaviors.
Deakin University’s criminology course is the most established in Australia. The program's curriculum has been developed and designed in conjunction with professional bodies including Victoria Police, the Department of Justice and Community Safety Victoria and the Australian Institute of Professional Intelligence Officers, ensuring students' study experience closely reflects the needs of the industry. For students who like to learn by doing, work-integrated learning opportunities challenge them to apply their skills in real-world contexts and provide the perfect preview to their future role.
Deakin University's criminology experts will take students behind the thinking and research surrounding a breadth of criminology topics, while they build a portfolio that showcases their critical thinking and ability to meet complex questions of criminal justice with empathy and confidence.
Students can discover how justice and criminality is defined and by whom, how courts and correctional processes operate, and the desirable outcomes of criminal justice processes. They will also get hands-on experience through Deakin University's work-integrated learning opportunities, which allow them to bridge theory with practice and gain insight into how the study of criminology applies across different industries and sectors. Students may even take their learning overseas and gain a global perspective on how other countries approach criminology.
Students can complement their studies by pairing the Bachelor of Criminology with another degree. From arts to cyber security, they will graduate with a unique course combination valued by employers that will further expand their career opportunities.
