Justice Studies

Overview

Students can explore topical and relevant examples, such as Tasmania leading the charge in gender reform, or issues related to housing, employment and asylum seekers.

Your studies will explore a range of justice settings including environmental, human rights, criminal, indigenous justice, and applied justice analytics through Forensic Studies and Emergency Management. You'll graduate ready to make a positive impact on your community.

• Specialise in Social Justice and Human Rights which reflect social change and demand for job ready graduates who seek to apply their learnings to real world problems.
• Give yourself every chance to deepen your understanding, gain experience and network through work-integrated learning opportunities, internships and exchange programs in across more than sixty countries.
• Engage and learn from the world's leading experts in Criminology, Policing and Emergency Management, Sociology and Politics and International Relations, through a unique course which brings together criminal and social justice.

This Justice Studies program from University of Tasmania is developed within an applied framework that develops your real world problem solving capabilities which can be applied in local, national, and global employment opportunities. 

Prepare yourself for criminal and social justice workplaces by learning independently and collaboratively about the theoretical, ethical, and practical issues related to crime and justice. Imagine working for an international organisation like the United Nations, Amnesty International, Australian Human Rights Commission, and Australian Red Cross, within the Police, Department of Justice or Correctional Services.

Career

In an environment where government and non-government organisations are now partnering together to combat social and environmental justice issues, the Bachelor of Justice Studies will prepare you for employment in organisations networked across social, environmental and criminal justice systems.
