Program Overview
Terrorism – and how to deal with it – has become one of the biggest security challenges of our time.
This is the first course of its kind in Australia. It has been designed to build the expertise in criminology and security you need to help tackle today’s global concerns.
In our Bachelor of Criminology you can specialise in Criminal Behaviour, Legal Studies or Crime Science. Learn what causes growing crime rates, what goes on behind criminal minds and behaviours, and discover how the legal system shapes our society.
Our Bachelor of Global Security allows you to specialise in Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies. Delve into the history and causes of terrorism, how it affects society and what can be done about it.
Major: Terrorism and Counterterrorism Studies
Terrorism, and efforts to counter it, has come to reshape national and global politics in the 21st Century.
In this major, you’ll get to explore the meaning, evolution and complex causes of terrorism and political violence. You will gain specialised knowledge in various counter-terrorism strategies, policies and politics adopted by governments and security agencies in response to these threats. This major equips you with specialised analytical skills to analyse contexts in which terrorism occurs and evaluate counter terrorism policies and strategies.
