| What it is | This four-year degree teaches you law and criminology through a liberal arts lens rather than training you to become a lawyer. You study legal systems, criminal justice, court processes, and social issues connected to crime and punishment, but you do not complete the professional courses required for law school or law practice. It suits people interested in how laws work and why crime happens, who want a broad university education rather than a narrow pathway to a specific legal profession. | Criminologie is a four-year degree in which you study crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — how crimes happen, why people commit them, and how society responds. Unlike a law degree, it focuses on the social science side of criminal justice rather than training you to be a lawyer. It suits people interested in understanding crime from psychological, sociological, and policy angles, whether they're considering careers in policing, corrections, victim services, or criminal justice research. | This program combines a degree in criminal justice with teacher training, letting you study crime, law, and the justice system while also earning your teaching qualification. Unlike a sequential approach where you'd finish one degree then start another, you complete both simultaneously in four years. It suits people who want to teach high school subjects like law or social studies and bring real knowledge of the criminal justice system into the classroom. |
