Offered at the undergraduate level through the Bachelor of Arts, at the graduate level through the specialised Master of Criminology, and through the Specialist Certificates in Offender Management and Forensic Disability, we equip our students with a sophisticated appreciation of global trends in crime and justice, from youth justice to corporate and international crime, drug policy to homelessness, gender violence, policing, disability and prisons.
The Master of Criminology provides an advanced understanding of crime, harm and best-practice justice innovation; our students have access to internship opportunities and industry projects, practitioner contact through guest lectures, site visits to prisons and courts, and undertake overseas intensive subjects in Oxford, Japan and Indonesia. We apply our expertise in criminal justice policy and practice, socio-legal analysis, and perpetrator and offender responses to identify ‘what works’ to prevent violence by designing, implementing and evaluating strategies that apply across a wide range of settings, with a range of staff training and professional development opportunities available.
