What you study	Law & Criminology	Psychology Social Policy Social Work Sociology	Journalism PsychologyPublicity StudiesSocial Policy
What it is	You study crime, criminal behaviour, and the justice system — what causes people to commit crimes, how police and courts respond, and how society prevents and punishes offences. Unlike a law degree, this focuses on understanding crime itself rather than practising as a lawyer. It suits people interested in criminology, criminal justice work, or social science research who want a broad foundation before specializing further.	You study the social systems, policies, and psychology behind why people struggle — poverty, mental health, family breakdown — and learn to help them through direct support work and advocacy. This program awards both a university degree and a Social Service Worker diploma, so you graduate certified for entry-level positions in shelters, community agencies, and schools right away. It suits people drawn to hands-on helping work who want practical credentials alongside academic learning.	You study how religion, moral philosophy, and social justice intersect with modern society, drawing on theology, psychology, sociology, and journalism. Unlike a straight theology program, this combines faith-based thinking with social science and applied communication skills to understand real-world ethical issues. It suits students interested in exploring belief systems and their role in addressing social problems, whether through advocacy, community work, or writing.
