Overview

The Bachelor of Criminology/Bachelor of Information Technology double degree equips you with industry-relevant specialist skills that will prepare you for working and living in a world of constant technological, environmental and political change. Crime, how we define it, understand its causes, and respond to it, provides a window into a society’s challenges, values and aspirations. In the Bachelor of Criminology, you’ll study local, national and global crime, justice and social control in order to understand and assess the efficiency and impact of society’s changing responses. The globalising nature of Information Technology requires people with a strong technical background and an in-depth understanding of human society and factors shaping it. With this double degree you’ll have technical expertise to shape and manage current and emerging technologies together with communication, research and critical thinking skills acquired through study in the arts, humanities and social sciences.
