Why choose this program? This program was formerly known as the Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Criminal Justice.  You will develop the specialised knowledge and skills necessary for a career in the highly demanding criminal justice system. This program will give you a well-rounded perspective on the various arms of the justice system and the relationships therein. In Year 1, you will receive a grounding in criminology and criminal justice and in the basic elements of the four disciplines upon which it rests (i.e. law, political science, psychology and sociology). In Years 2 and 3, you will study vocational and academic issues that will equip you for a career in the criminal justice system. An optional field placement in third year offers you practical off-campus justice-related work experience one day a week.
