Honours

Add one year for an Honours Degree

These programs are 'End-on honours' which means one year of study, in addition to your bachelor degree. You can apply for a one-year honours program after you have completed a three-year bachelor's degree in Criminology and Justice or related field.

I love knowing how our legal systems impact people, ranging from legislation to our prison systems. I can use my critical thinking skills to apply legal reasoning to a scenario and learn how to adequately research court cases.
