Why study law or criminology at Murdoch?
You will be taught by leading experts in the criminology field like Associate Professor Guy Hall, who previously treated notorious prisoners on the inside. Our other criminology academics have had extensive experience in policing, crime prevention, interrogation, prisons and criminal behaviour. You could also take part in Murdoch’s ‘Cold Case Review’, where you will have the chance to progress real-world, unsolved homicide and missing persons cases.
If you’re trying to choose between courses, why not consider a combined degree or double major? Where you can expand on your career prospects even further.
