The intensive year-long program studying UNE's Bachelor of Criminology with Honours is an opportunity to develop your original research project and conduct theoretical and empirical research under the guidance of a supervisor who is a specialist in the relevant field. You will utilise all the skills you have learned throughout your undergraduate degree to produce a 15,000 to 20,000-word dissertation.
Honours can be one of the most enjoyable and challenging years of your undergraduate degree, a rare opportunity to dedicate yourself for an entire year to one area of study that you are passionate about. It is an ideal way to gain direct access as a professional to areas of the criminal justice system that interest you.
