Summary

Introduction

This Graduate Diploma offers students an opportunity to complement and extend their undergraduate studies with further study in Criminal Justice.

It is ideal for those who are seeking employment in a range of criminal justice sector occupations, and also for those currently employed within the sector who seek to have a professionally relevant graduate qualification.

Entry criteria

Entry requirements

Entry to the Graduate Diploma requires a bachelor's degree, which does not need to be in the same area of study. If you gained your qualification overseas, this will need to be assessed to ensure it is of an equivalent standard.

Acceptance for the programme will depend on the standard and relevance of your previous studies. All students need to be approved by the Dean of Law.

If English is your additional language, you are also required to meet UC's English language requirements.

For the full entry requirements, see the Regulations for the Graduate Diploma in Criminal Justice or use the admission requirements checker.
