Enhance your legal career prospects by pairing your Bachelor of Laws with a Bachelor of Criminology to investigate law's function within the criminal justice system. Murdoch University offers the opportunity to merge a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) with a Bachelor of Criminology. You'll analyze criminal behavior through multiple lenses, including legal, sociological, and psychological viewpoints, while developing skills to combat crime and support both victims and offenders. By combining these degrees, you can specialize in Criminal Behavior, Crime Science, or White Collar and Corporate Crime. Note that the Legal Studies major isn't offered within this dual-degree framework.
Three compelling advantages of pursuing Murdoch's Law and Criminology dual degree- Engage with actual projects through our work-integrated learning initiative, collaborating with local, national, or global organizations. 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 practical legal experience and academic credit through our acclaimed clinic, assisting real clients with matters involving human rights, family law, and indigenous concerns.
The Crime Science specialization within the Bachelor of Criminology teaches scientific approaches to addressing actual criminal cases. Investigate factors contributing to rising crime rates and meticulously analyze the circumstances surrounding offenses. This specialization merges scientific curiosity with criminological interest, exploring how various scientific disciplines contribute to crime resolution and prevention. Your coursework will include studying crime hotspot identification and evolving crime patterns throughout history. You'll discover how data analysis enables early intervention tactics and innovative policing strategies, while appreciating both the benefits of scientific crime trend analysis and the challenges law enforcement encounters in community protection.
