Enhance your legal career prospects by pairing your Bachelor of Laws with a Bachelor of Criminology, delving into how the legal system functions within criminal justice. Murdoch University offers this dual degree program where you'll analyze crime through multiple lenses - legal, sociological, and psychological - while developing skills to address, prevent, and mitigate criminal activity, supporting both victims and offenders. This combined degree allows specialization in Criminal Behavior, Crime Science, or White Collar and Corporate Crime (note: Legal Studies isn't available in this dual degree format).
Three compelling benefits of Murdoch's Law and Criminology dual degree: Engage in practical projects with local, national, or global organizations through our work-integrated learning initiative (past students have completed internships with WA Police's Evidence Based Policing Unit). Participate in Western Australia's most extensive and triumphant mooting program, competing nationally and internationally. Gain academic credit while acquiring practical legal experience in our acclaimed clinic, handling real cases involving human rights, family law, and indigenous matters.
