Yes. Through Deakin Business School's work-integrated learning opportunities you will work on real-world projects that count as credit towards your degree. The curriculum is supported by experiential learning opportunities including mentoring, volunteering, consulting, internships, student clubs and societies, and local and international business competitions. For the criminology component, WIL units are structured to inform students with practical insights and advice regarding securing work within the many agencies comprising the criminal justice system and related professions, as career internships are not always practical given dangerous work environments or security clearance requirements.
To complete the Bachelor of Criminology/Bachelor of Business, you must pass 32 credit points. This includes 16 credit points from the Bachelor of Criminology (6 credit points of core units, 6 credit points of course electives, and 4 credit points of Arts elective units) and 16 credit points from the Bachelor of Business (8 credit points of core units and a major worth 8 credit points). A maximum of 12 credit points at level 1 and a minimum of 10 credit points at level 3 are required.
Yes. International experiences across Asia, Europe or North America help improve your global employability, developing skills in teamwork and intercultural communication. Students can apply for overseas internships, study tours, and exchange programs as part of the degree.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
