Bachelor of Justice Studies
University of Tasmania - Hobart
Overview
The future of our planet and the environment relies on a fair and just society.
We're proud to offer Justice Studies as a comprehensive, stand-alone degree. In Tasmania, we have a long history of fighting for those who need a voice. The Bachelor of Justice Studies is built on the social and environmental justice issues in our state. This course will challenge you to explore and question justice issues affecting the places where you live, work, play and study.
Turn your passion into action with research-led learning experiences across different justice scenarios. We will support you to interrogate a range of complex justice issues including domestic and international crime, domestic violence, international terror, humanitarian crises, climate change, and species extinction. You’ll also gain deeper insights and connection to wider regional, national, and international concerns.
Throughout your degree you will have opportunities to design an elective program that suits your interests and career aspirations. Elective units can be selected from a wide range of options across the university. You can study electives to complete a second major or broaden your degree across business, creative arts or languages. Many students choose to study electives in complementary fields such as sustainability, environmental science, law, criminology and politics.
A ‘Justice Practitioner’ holds a diverse range of important skills in criminology, human rights, corrective services, forensic studies, sociology, international relations, social justice, environmental justice, Indigenous issues, and humanitarian disaster management. Graduates of this degree will be prepared for work across inter-agency justice contexts as well as broader networked non-government and community support organisations.
Potential Career Outcomes
