The BCJ is the first degree of its kind in Aotearoa, combining multidisciplinary academic study with a strong vocational focus.

 

Criminal Justice studies take a 360-degree look at the criminal justice system and its processes, including governance, enforcement, rehabilitation, and improvement. The degree draws together UC’s expertise in criminology, sociology, developmental and behavioural psychology, policing, criminal law and procedure, and human services.

 

What will my study involve?

• Strong links with employers in the crime and justice fields gives you the chance to work closely with current policies and legislation.
• Enjoy learning from courses across criminology, sociology, developmental and behavioural psychology, criminal law and procedure, policing, and human services.
• Join student club CRIMSOC and meet like-minded students.
