Bachelor of Psychology / Bachelor of Criminology

Murdoch University

Examine crime from a range of perspectives – including law, sociology and psychology – as you learn how to reduce and prevent crime, and help both victims and offenders in the criminal justice system. Explore how the mind works, why people commit offences, and what can be done to rehabilitate them. You’ll have the option to specialise in Legal Studies, Criminal Behaviour or Crime Science.

By combining your criminology degree with a Bachelor of Psychology, you’ll gain an understanding of what makes people think, feel, and behave the way they do, and you’ll examine leading-edge research and practical applications to explore how we make sense of ourselves. A Bachelor of Psychology is your first step towards becoming a registered psychologist, and an excellent foundation for pursuing a career in a wide variety of fields.
