COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this double degree, you’ll develop an understanding of the vital importance of human services within Australia’s legal and social systems.
Through the human services component, you’ll learn how to build a better future for individuals and families. You’ll also be empowered by a greater understanding of the principles of social justice and social inclusion. In the criminology and criminal justice component, you’ll learn about the causes of crime and how society responds to them through the justice system.

Your study will include courses about policing, working with offenders and victims, and analysing and preventing crimes. You’ll hear from academic and professional experts about how crime can be prevented and reduced.
You’ll also undertake a range of courses to prepare you as a human services practitioner to create a more socially just world.
You’ll receive plenty of hands-on experience in your final year of study. Within a genuine human services environment, you’ll put theory into practice in a supervised setting. This experience will enhance your skills in the workplace and get you ready to graduate job-ready.
Graduate outcomes
You may find opportunities in policing and security, intelligence, probation and parole, child protection, crime analysis, courts and justice services, crime prevention and regulatory agencies.
