Overview

The Bachelor of Criminology examines contemporary issues that are critical for maintaining safety and justice within communities. This degree will step you through causes and responses to crime, innovative ways to approach crime issues, how to research and advocate for crime solutions, and give you the opportunity to learn about specialist areas like youth crime and justice and gender-based violence.

You will learn from passionate experts in the Criminology, Justice & Social Policy team, as well as leaders in health and social sciences at UOW. Our academic staff are active researchers and experienced teachers who have strong connections to government and community organisations.

Our subjects use real-world case studies to develop skills for your future career while our flexible learning strategies help you to balance your studies with other commitments. Alongside your degree you can also choose a complementary major in human services or legal studies.

This course will be available at UOW Liverpool from 2026.
