Bachelor of Criminology and Justice

The course offers work integrated learning opportunities including workplace practicums, involvement in industry-based projects, and work integrated learning via ECU's own Criminal Justice Review Project. In the final semester, students must select one of two WIL opportunities: a practicum placement (by application and approval only, requiring a minimum of 270 hours in a relevant criminal justice agency) or a capstone project (run on-campus, requiring students to work in small groups on a real life industry-based project).

Yes. As students will be placed in a criminal justice agency, they will be subjected to a police clearance and agency security clearance. In some cases, students may require Interpol clearance. Students will require a Working With Children clearance if placed with a youth justice agency. A practicum placement host may also have vaccination and other requirements, including vaccination against Covid-19 unless you have a medical exemption.

Students are required to complete 180 credit points of core units and 180 credit points of elective units, totalling 360 credit points. In their electives, students may complete any combination of major, minors, or elective units from the School of Arts and Humanities or other Schools in the university. The course is completed over 3 years full-time (or part-time equivalent).
