Bachelor of Criminology (Data Analytics and Research)
Overview
The Bachelor of Criminology with an extended major in Data Analytics and Research 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 learn the techniques and skills needed to carry out data analysis & research to detect, investigate and track crime as well as evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. The course combines these applied skills with practical social science knowledge and training 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 critical skills needed to work in, transform and future proof the professions and industries at the forefront of addressing crime. This 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.
