Bachelor of Criminology

The Bachelor of Criminology prepares students to respond to the changing nature of crime in the 21st century by addressing the realities of crime in an increasingly digital and transnational age. Ideal for those starting their careers or extending their learning to respond to industry needs, students specialise in either forensics, data analytics or justice & legal studies. The course combines studies in these focus areas with practical social science knowledge and skills needed for professions focused on crime prevention, detection, enforcement or the broader social implications and challenges of crime.

This course is designed to address areas of current and future demand for (graduate) employment, and  balance this with developing the critical skills needed to work in, transform and future proof the professions and industries at the forefront of addressing crime. Course-long industry engagement prepares graduates to pursue careers at all levels of government, in law enforcement, criminal justice, corrections, border protection, the private sector including financial or insurance industries, or within community organisations concerned with crime prevention, reduction and rehabilitation.

The UTS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) offers a range of courses in communication, education and International Studies. FASS courses are designed with input from industry and professional stakeholders and are often offered in partnership with other UTS faculties.
