We draw upon our strong networks in the West Australian legal profession to support the School’s drive to provide an intellectually challenging legal education to students.
Criminology
Criminology at Murdoch Law School allows you to learn about the science of crime and why people commit crimes. You will study areas such as white-collar crime, cybercrime, and human trafficking.

Combine your Criminology degree with another degree to increase your skills and expand your employment opportunities.
