Course outline

This course equips you as a graduate for a wide variety of employment in the criminal justice, government (state and federal), law enforcement and policing, and intelligence/security fields. Past graduates have developed successful careers in the state or federal police services and correctional facilities, created social and justice policies for governments, contributed to the work of advocacy centres (e.g. women, youth and children’s advocacy), become criminologists, and advanced into Defence, Customs and the Australian Crime Commission. Other popular career choices include corrections, human rights and antidiscrimination areas. You will be prepared for the workplace, not only by exploring the most recent theory and practice of social justice, but also by the inclusion in the course of relevant general skills like problem-solving, analytical ability, research skills and applied digital skills that are relevant to the workplace.

This course is covered by the QUT Offer Guarantee and Year 12 Early Offer Scheme.
