In this innovative and specialised double degree, you’ll learn about the causes of crime and society’s response to it, while developing a core of IT technical knowledge related to information systems and network security. Graduates will gain broad knowledge in the fields of criminology and criminal justice, including an in-depth understanding of various theoretical frameworks underpinning the study of criminal behaviour, victimisation and criminal justice responses to crime, plus the role technology plays in committing and preventing crime. Additionally, you’ll learn about the underlying principles and concepts of information and communication technology (ICT) problem solving and how to use modelling methods and processes to understand problems, handle abstraction and design solutions. You’ll also gain a suite of ICT professional knowledge, such as programming, human-computer interaction, data and information management and networking. You’ll be prepared to pursue employment opportunities in one of the fastest growing sectors world-wide with demand from both government and private organisations.
