About
The Bachelor of Criminology cultivates a critical comprehension of crime and injustice. You’ll learn about key institutions of criminal justice, including the police, courts and prisons. You’ll build your knowledge around historical understandings of crime; the enduring relationship between inequality and crime; and how crime intersects with topics such as race, gender, Indigeneity, age and sexuality. You’ll also examine criminological responses to contemporary challenges, including environmental crime, transnational crime, terrorism, cybercrime and security. The degree will empower you to think innovatively and ethically when addressing the persistent challenges of crime, whether you choose to pursue further education, engage in research or enter the workforce.
The hallmark of Macquarie’s Bachelor of Laws is its recognition of the way legal frameworks underpin such global issues. You’ll be challenged to think critically about the law to seek innovative solutions to legal problems – skills highly valued by employers. With the option to combine your law degree with any other Macquarie bachelor degree, you can open the way to an array of careers in legal practice, private industry, government, education and community services.
