Bachelor of Criminology (Digital Security)

The Bachelor of Criminology with an extended major in Digital Security 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 operate as cyber security professionals to detect, investigate and track digital crime. 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. 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.
