Bachelor of Criminology and Policing 

Crime is a complex phenomenon, which requires it to be viewed from various perspectives. In a joint venture with Victoria Police, the Bachelor of Criminology and Policing is the only course of its kind in Victoria. This course will provide students with the chance to apply to join the Victoria Police and if successful, continue their studies at the Victoria Police Academy, where they will gain practical experience and go on to work in the police force. How is this different from the Bachelor of Criminology?  In the Bachelor of Criminology and Policing, students complete the same units as the ones offered in the Bachelor of Criminology, plus, they complete a Policing unit.
