The Bachelor of Criminology program equips students to tackle the evolving nature of crime, disorder and threats to public safety & security in the 21st century, particularly as it becomes more digital and transnational. It is ideal for those beginning their careers or seeking to enhance their skills to meet industry demands. The curriculum combines theory and practice through core subjects and curated specialisations reflecting an applied and translational approach to criminology. Such an approach is crucial in light of the increasingly digital and transnational dimensions of crime, disorder and threats to public safety & security. In the Bachelor of Criminology, students choose one of three majors in the program: Forensics, Data Analytics, or Justice and Legal Studies or one of two extended majors: Data Analytics and Research or Digital Forensics.


The program emphasizes applied learning from the real world. Students engage with industry-standard datasets, tools, problems, and cases ensuring they are work-ready. The course is campus based, but adopts a blended-learning approach to study, with asynchronous self-paced learning, synchronous online activities, collaborative learning, on-campus activities, and industry engagement through site visits and guest speakers.


Designed to meet current demands for graduate employment, this course balances critical skills needed to work in and transform the industry. Ongoing industry engagement prepares graduates for careers in government, law enforcement, criminal justice, corrections, border protection, the financial and insurance sectors, and community organisations focused on crime prevention and rehabilitation.


The mix of theory and practice in core subjects, in the curated majors and via possible combined degrees with Forensic Science and International Studies addresses industry needs for an applied approach to criminology and the increasingly digital and transnational dimensions of crime.


There is a choice of three majors within the standard Bachelor of Criminology – Forensics, Data Analytics or Justice and Legal Studies.


The Bachelor of Criminology (Data Analytics & Research) offers students an opportunity to study an extended major focused on crime statistics and data analytics to inform policy and evaluate interventions.


The Bachelor of Criminology (Digital Forensics) extended major focuses students' studies on Cybersecurity. It is delivered with UTS Information Technology and Science academics.


Curriculum and applied learning from the real world: Students work with data sets, tools, problems and cases used in industry and contributed by UTS partners to be work-ready.


The course is offered primarily on campus, but individual subjects include aspects of asynchronous self-paced learning, synchronous online activities, collaborative learning and activities on campus, and industry engagement via site visits and/or guest speakers.
