If you want to enter the police forces, or work in corrections, courts, customs and related agencies, this degree is for you. It also provides a qualification for those working in relevant agencies to assist with career progression and moving into other related fields.

Building on the capabilities you acquired at undergraduate degree level, you’ll design and develop a research project and complete a scholarly thesis as you undertake advanced coursework, which provides a firmer grounding in the field and in research methods.

You will:

• Engage with the academic world of criminal justice by becoming part of a network of talented students providing fresh insights and information to the justice industry through deeper analysis.
• Become familiar with a variety of criminal justice professional environments, enabling you to add value to organisations and improve practice. Employers value an honours degree as it demonstrates higher-order research, analysis and writing skills.
• Enhance your sense of professional identity and widen your learning horizons through exposure to a greater range of professional and research practice.

Many honours students continue to develop an academic research career through further Master or PhD studies.

As a visual merchandiser or display designer in retail, events, exhibition or styling, you will maintain an organisation's image, service and merchandise to its customers and use your design talents to create stimulating and engaging spatial displays that promote products and services.
