Course overview

If you're interested in the causes, prevention, and psychology of crime, and how individuals and societies are regulated, studying both criminology and psychological science is for you. Combining the study of criminology with an accredited three-year psychology degree will allow students to apply knowledge of human behaviour to a wide range of fields within the criminal justice area. This program will prepare students for a career in the specialisations of forensic psychology, clinical psychology, and other accredited psychology postgraduate pathways. Students can also continue their professional training in psychology for a career as a psychologist.

Note: Registration as a psychologist requires completion of further study, such as the Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) plus postgraduate training in psychology.
