Graduate Diploma in Criminology

Murdoch University

Make a positive impact on society by investigating criminal behaviour, why certain people commit crimes, their motivations and how to prevent it.

Security surveillance, terrorism, policing, cybercrime and transnational crime are just a few of the areas you’ll explore to help you understand the inner workings of criminal behaviour.

You’ll learn how to evaluate, think critically and apply theories and methods to real-world environments through work placements. Some of our students have previously undertaken internships within federal or state government agencies, including community safety departments or commercial providers including in domestic violence to inmate reintegration.

Upon successful completion of this course, you can gain direct entry into the Master of Criminology.
