Criminal Justice is a bachelor's programme taught in English at the University of Gdańsk in Gdańsk, Poland. The degree takes three years to complete, with yearly tuition of 8000 PLN. Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Gdańsk is aimed at students who want broad interdisciplinary knowledge of deviant behavior, with crime as the central focus. The programme introduces students to the determinants of crime and to how the criminal justice system is organized, treating criminology as a meta-science that draws on multiple research traditions. Coursework centers on the causes of crime, its phenomenology, and methods for combating social pathologies, and includes classes in forensic medicine, psychopathology, resocialization pedagogy, and criminal biology. Students also study the philosophy and sociology of punishment as well as criminal prevention. Lectures present these problems in a comparative context, taking into account the work of international and pan-European organizations and institutions. Courses are taught by both Polish and foreign researchers, and studying takes place under the supervision of practitioners from the justice system, including curators, judges, lawyers, prosecutors, mediators, doctors, and psychologists. Criminal justice as a discipline blends law, sociology, and psychology to examine why crime occurs and how societies respond to it through policing, courts, and corrections. Graduates typically pursue careers in law enforcement, the courts, corrections, victim services, and policy roles connected to public safety and criminal justice reform, both within Poland and internationally.
