About the course
This first-of-its-kind graduate diploma explores criminal behaviour through the lens of neuroscience, linking brain function and neurobiological processes to offending. You’ll examine how biological, psychological and social factors interact to shape behaviour, building an evidence-based understanding relevant to contemporary criminology. Designed for both experienced practitioners and newcomers, the course is delivered fully online as a postgraduate qualification in neuroscience and criminology.
Career outcome
Graduates can apply neuroscientific perspectives to criminology and justice contexts, supporting better-informed policy and practice around offending and rehabilitation. The course can benefit roles across criminal justice, corrections, forensic and investigative services, victim support, and related community and government agencies. It may also provide a pathway to further postgraduate study in psychology, neuroscience, criminology or forensic science at graduate diploma level.
Entry requirements
Entry is based on a bachelor qualification or above, or the UNE Graduate Certificate in Neuroscience and Criminology.
