Criminology and Justice Capstone Project unit helps students to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional work. Students apply the academic knowledge and skills they have acquired during the course to complete a project for an agency within, or related to, the criminal justice system. Students will be mentored by an industry professional and the Unit Coordinator as they complete their project. This experience allows students to develop their employability skills (such as, time-management and collaboration) and career development skills (such as CV writing and creating professional portfolios and digital identities). Students must be in their final semester of study to be eligible to undertake this capstone unit.
Students must be in their last semester of study to be enrolled in CRI3300
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students are provided with opportunities to use equipment or practice that is standard in industry.
Students are presented with projects that are arranged in consultation with participating Industry Partners. Students will be supervised in their weekly tasks by the Capstone Project Coordinator with input from the agency supervisor, who will provide formal supervision sessions. The Capstone Coordinator will conduct an interim review, in consultation with the student and industry partner agency supervisor, as a means of facilitating formative feedback for the students and the team. Monitoring of student engagement and progress will occur through reflective assessment methods. Online students will attend via BlackBoard Collaborate which will be recorded. Teams will require online and on-campus students to work together to familiarise them to working in a global environment. Students will organise peer-to-peer synchronous and asynchronous meetings within their group at mutually agreed times in order to complete their project. Students will develop their teamwork, self-management, initiative and self-reflexive learning skills.
