About
The Bachelor of Criminology, with an extended major in Digital Forensics, equips students to respond to the evolving landscape of crime and justice in the 21st century, particularly in the digital and transnational context. Tailored for those commencing their careers or seeking advanced learning to meet industry demands, this program provides students with the specialised techniques and skills essential for working as cybersecurity professionals and alike. Students gain expertise in detecting, investigating, and tracking digital crimes, thus addressing the unique challenges posed by the digital age.
The curriculum seamlessly merges these applied skills with a foundation of practical social science knowledge and training, crucial for professions dedicated to crime prevention, detection, enforcement, and understanding the broader social implications and challenges associated with crime and justice.
Strategically designed to meet both current and future employment demands, the course strikes a balance between addressing industry needs and nurturing critical skills required for effectively navigating, transforming, and future-proofing professions and industries at the forefront of addressing crime and justice, particularly in the digital sphere.
Throughout the course, students will engage with industry professionals, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of real-world applications and challenges. This industry engagement uniquely positions graduates to pursue diverse and impactful careers across various sectors, including all levels of government, including in the criminal justice sector such as law enforcement and corrections, border protection, private sectors such as financial or insurance industries, or within community organisations focused on crime prevention, reduction, and rehabilitation in the digital age.
