This double degree combination enables students who wish to study Law and Criminology & Justice to obtain a degree in both fields. The Bachelor of Laws equips students with skills for the courtroom and beyond, providing greater scope and options for a rewarding career in the legal, corporate, commercial and social justice fields. Practical experience may be gained at the on-campus Joondalup Community Legal Centre and through the Criminal Justice Review Project (‘Innocence Project’). The Bachelor of Criminology and Justice is designed for students with an interest in criminology, social justice and the justice system. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the nature of criminology and justice and the principal disciplines of law, political science, psychology and sociology, which inform criminological and justice-related issues. Students examine the nature of crime and social control, as well as a broad range of areas in the domain of justice, including policing, courts, law, corrections, family law and conflict management.
This combination of law, criminology and justice provides students with a practical legal qualification and a comprehensive understanding of the impact of law within various community settings.
