Overview

Bachelor of Justice Studies

The Bachelor of Justice Studies at the University of Canberra will provide an in-depth understanding of the justice system's structure, concepts and underlying principles. 

Within the unique legal context of the nation’s capital – which covers both ACT and federal jurisdictions – you’ll explore the practical and theoretical issues that arise in developing, managing and administering justice policy.

Choose to study the specialist electives which interest you, including human rights, judicial administration in civil and family law, or criminal justice issues. 

You’ll gain skills in advocacy, communication, problem-solving, negotiation and mediation, and graduate work-ready for a range of professional roles in the civil and criminal justice sectors, responsible for developing and implementing justice policy and improving access to justice.

Work Integrated Learning

As part of the course’s Work Integrated Learning (WIL) component, you’ll undertake an internship placement of 75 hours in an area of your choosing. 

You’ll apply practical skills in a law or justice workplace, including analysis, research, problem-solving and writing.

You’ll also participate in a virtual work experience program where you will study highly practical units, such as dispute management. 

The program will draw together theoretical, practical and professional skills and knowledge in a capstone project, where you will focus on your real-world area of interest or potential future employment goal.
