About this Course
Crime and criminal behaviour are topics that fascinate many of us.
Why people commit crime, how society should respond to crime and how can we prevent and minimise the harms associated with criminal behaviour are some of the issues you’ll consider when you study criminology and justice at ECU.
Your studies will encompass the whole system – from how laws are made, through to how police, courts and corrections deal with people who break these laws. You’ll also examine the concept of justice, and what it means to different groups of people in the criminal justice system, and to society more broadly.
Importantly, we start to prepare you for employment as soon as you start. This preparation culminates in amazing opportunities such as workplace practicums, involvement in industry-based projects and work integrated learning via our own Criminal Justice Review Project.
Our goal is to ensure that you’re exposed to cutting-edge content and opportunities to help you decide how and where you want to contribute to the world of criminal justice.

Students are required to undertake WIL in their final semester of study. Students must select one of two WIL opportunities: a practicum placement or a capstone project. The practicum placement is by application and approval only and requires students to complete a minimum of 270 hours in a relevant criminal justice agency. The capstone project is run on-campus and requires students to work in small groups on an real life industry-based project.
Attendance requirements
Practicum Placement: Students are required to attend the criminal justice host agency at least 3 days per week for the duration of the semester in which they are enrolled.
Capstone Project: The capstone project unit is timetabled in the same way as other units. Students are able to complete the capstone project on-campus or online.
Clearances and/or Risk Management Protocols Required
Practicum Placement: As students will be placed in a criminal justice agency, they will be subjected to a police clearance and agency security clearance. In some cases, students may require Interpol clearance. Students will require a Working With Children clearance if placed with a youth justice agency. Students may be exposed to offending populations, however this risk is managed by students always being accompanied, or working under supervision. Students will normally work in secure locations within criminal justice agencies.
A practicum placement host may have vaccination and other requirements, including vaccination against Covid-19 unless you have a medical exemption. Students should consider this requirement before enrolling, and speak with the Course coordinator if this raises any concerns. Students may not be able to complete a practicum placement if they are unable to meet the placement requirements. Where students do not meet the placement requirements, they have the option of completing the capstone project unit instead of a practicum placement.
Capstone Project: There are no issues regarding clearance or risk management. This project runs in a similar manner to other units.
Course learning outcomes
- Apply broad discipline knowledge to a range of theoretical and practical criminology and justice issues.
- Think critically to identify, conceptualise and analyse complex criminology issues.
- Think creatively to anticipate challenges and generate solutions in criminological situations.
- Use digital technologies to access, evaluate and synthesise criminological information.
- Communicate knowledge of criminology and justice ideas clearly, coherently and with independence.
- Demonstrate a global outlook with respect for diversity, including Indigenous cultural competence.
- Work collaboratively and demonstrate initiative to implement social, sustainable, and ethical values in criminology and justice.
- Demonstrate autonomy, responsibility and accountability for own learning in scholarship and professional practice.

Student stories

I have always been interested in pursuing a career in criminology and justice
In the Criminology and Justice capstone project we had to complete a project for the industry partner, the Department of Justice. Our topic was 'managing and accommodating older adults in a correctional setting'. It was a great experience, allowing me to hone my research and teamwork skills. I also appreciated the 'real-life' component of being supervised by an industry professional.

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is the national regulator of qualifications in the Australian education and training system. The AQF defines the essential characteristics, including the required learning outcomes, of the different types of qualifications issued across the higher education systems in Australia.
-
ATAR is the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank, the primary criterion for entry into most undergraduate university courses in Australia. The ATAR is a percentile score which denotes a student's ranking relative to their state-wide peers upon completion of their secondary education.
-
CRICOS is the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students. A CRICOS code is allocated to education institutions (like ECU) who are approved to recruit, enrol and deliver education to overseas students. Courses with a CRICOS code are available to international students who meet the entry requirements.
-
A major, or unit set, is your chosen area of in-depth study in an undergraduate course. It usually involves 8 units of study, or one-third of the units in a 3-year degree. Talk to your Student Information Office if you need help choosing a major subject.
-
Minors include between 4 and 6 study units in a specific discipline. Not all courses require you to complete a minor. Your minor subject doesn't appear on your printed degree (parchment), but is part of your academic transcript.
-
If you're enrolled in 3 or more units in a semester this is considered full-time study. To complete most 3-year degrees studying full-time you'll need to complete 4 units per semester, i.e. 24 units over 3 years.
-
-
-
If a course is available to study part-time you can generally expect it to take twice as long to complete as it would in full-time mode. Part-time students are enrolled in 1 or 2 units maximum per semester.
Note: International students who hold a student visa can only choose the full-time study option for our courses. This is to ensure the course is completed within the duration of the student visa.
-
Most courses start in Semester 1 each year, usually in the last week of February. Some courses can be started in Semester 2 (we call this mid-year). There's a week of Orientation before each semester to help you get used to uni life.
-
A lot of our courses start in Semester 2 each year, usually in the last week of July. We call this mid-year. There's a week of Orientation beforehand to help you get used to uni life.
-
We use a points system to make it easier for you to understand your study progress. Most Bachelors degree study units are allocated 15 credit points. If you're studying a 3-year full-time degree you'll need to successfully complete 360 credit points - that's 24 units x 15 points per unit.
-
These are compulsory units you have to successfully complete as part of your course.
-
An elective is a unit you choose to study that counts towards your course requirements, but isn't compulsory. For some courses we recommend elective units. In some situations, a course coordinator may approve an elective unit as a replacement for a compulsory one.
