The Criminological Research Studies program at Griffith University is for students who want to learn more about criminology. This non-degree program takes one year to complete and focuses on critical analysis and research skills.

Students in this program learn about criminological theories and research methodologies. They also get to work on practical projects, which helps them gain hands-on experience in criminological research. This program teaches students skills like data analysis and research design.

Graduates can work as criminologists, policy analysts, or research officers. They can also work in law enforcement, social services, or academic research, helping to develop effective crime prevention strategies and justice policies.
