About
The Bachelor of Criminology at UTS equips students to navigate the evolving landscape of crime and criminal justice in the 21st century, recognising the shifting dynamics brought about by digital advancements and globalisation. Tailored for individuals initiating their careers or seeking to enhance their expertise to meet industry demands, the program allows students to specialise in forensics, data analytics, or justice and legal studies.
This comprehensive course integrates in-depth studies in these specialised areas with the practical application of social science knowledge and skills essential for professions focused on crime prevention, detection, enforcement, as well as addressing the broader social implications and challenges associated with crime and criminal justice.
Designed to meet current and future demands in the job market, the program strikes a balance between addressing industry needs and cultivating critical skills necessary to thrive in, transform, and future-proof professions and industries at the forefront of tackling crime and justice. Providing continuous engagement with industry throughout the course, graduates are well-prepared to pursue diverse careers at various government levels, in law enforcement, criminal justice, corrections, border protection, private sectors such as financial or insurance industries, or within community organisations dedicated to crime prevention, reduction, and rehabilitation.
