What it isCriminologie 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.You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.Arts One is a broad first-year program that lets you explore multiple humanities and social science subjects — including anthropology, history, English, economics, and geography — before deciding on a major. Unlike applying directly to a single program, this approach gives you time to sample different disciplines and find the right fit before committing. It suits students who are curious about ideas and society but aren't yet certain which direction they want to specialize in.
