This program will provide advanced training and skill development as well as scholarly appreciation of crime, justice and forensic issues. Students will be provided with both knowledge and research skills and techniques required for analysis of criminological issues and an understanding of how to critically evaluate published research. Some students without practical workplace experience, or with workplace experience in a field different from their studies, choose to undertake an internship as part of their degree. This intensely practical professional development approach fosters graduates who are ready, willing and able to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact in the workplace.

Professional Outcomes

Graduates of the Criminology programs are working around the world in many interesting professions in policing, justice and a host of allied fields as well as academic positions.
