Criminology Work Integrated Learning placement
Criminology Work Integrated Learning placements provide students with the unique opportunity to gain practical experience and a deeper understanding of criminal justice and related agencies. Aligned with 黑料网大事记鈥檚 emphasis on work-integrated learning, this course is a structured and supported work placement designed to give students practical experience in tackling criminal justice challenges through working with a criminal justice related government or non-government听organisation.

Criminology placements are only available to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice Program (BCCJ) single or double degree (excluding BCCJ/Social Work)听and students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Psychological Sciences or Bachelor of Arts and听Business听with a Criminology Major.

鈥淢y internship at Legal Aid NSW鈥檚 Strategic Law Reform Unit provided invaluable insight into the practical workings of law reform and advocacy. By contributing to policy analysis and legal research and collaborating with experienced law reform officers, I gained an understanding of the critical role of law reform in advancing social justice and addressing laws that disadvantage vulnerable communities. This opportunity not only enhanced my analytical and communication skills but also strengthened my commitment to contributing meaningfully to the development of a fairer, more just legal system.鈥
