The Bachelor of Social Science in Justice Studies degree was developed by the Faculty of Law in 2008 and was reviewed in 2011. The changes are effective as of 1 January 2012.

The redesigned course will equip students with the tools to work in many areas of the justice sector, including policy development and administration, court administration, law enforcement and security, corrective services, criminological research, community legal centres and law reform bodies.

This multi-disciplinary course will draw on expertise from the fields of judicial administration, sociology, criminal law, human rights, management, communications, psychology, human resources, and government studies. It highlights contemporary issues and innovations in the justice sector and provide students with the opportunity to undertake at least one industry-based work placement.

The availability of electives in the course allows students to specialise in issues that are most relevant to them, such as judicial administration in the civil law jurisdication; family law; or criminal justice.
