Overview

Whether you're safeguarding a career in criminal justice, law enforcement, mental health, or policy-making, or are a newcomer to the field, this Neuroscience and Criminology program at University of New England will immerse you in the interdisciplinary field of neurocriminology, offering insights into the neural underpinnings of criminal behaviour and its broader social implications.

Career outcomes

Most students will already have careers in Criminology, and the program expects that completion of this degree will enhance their professional standing, by providing in-depth understanding of the criminal mind and behaviour that would not be available in their initial professional qualification.

This addition professional knowledge would enhance their career prospects by enabling them to undertake work for the courts and justice systems of Australia, as well as consult with individual cases in the Australian prison systems.
