The Master of Criminology will equip you with the critical insight and applied expertise needed to respond ethically and effectively to these challenges. Its interdisciplinary curriculum will encourage you to question assumptions about crime, and provide you with the tools to evaluate justice through the lenses of power, inequality and environmental security. You’ll engage with cutting-edge issues, such as the impact of technology and AI on policing, and consider how Indigenous knowledge and ecological thinking can inform justice responses. Drawing on advanced criminology theory – and from fields such as sociology, psychology, psychiatry and social anthropology – you’ll graduate ready to influence reform, contribute to justice and lead future innovation in criminology.

The Master of Laws will position you to be such an expert – whether your background is in law, business or another field. You’ll examine key areas, such as the law of the sea; human rights; and international, environmental and financial integrity law, equipping you with the grounding to work confidently across diverse areas. Alongside this, you’ll sharpen your practical expertise through mooting, mock trials and legal drafting exercises that test your advocacy, problem-solving and decision-making in real-world contexts. Guided by world-renowned academics and drawing on the research strengths of leading centres, you’ll graduate ready to take on influential roles in law, policy or business worldwide.
