The BA (Police Studies) provides academic and professional analysis of the
policing process within social, political, legal and historical contexts. This
study is pursued both within the compulsory police studies major and through
the cognate majors and minors also available.
Applicants must satisfactorily complete the VCE (or its equivalent) by obtaining a study score of at least 25 in English and a study score of at least 20 in three other studies. Applicants may be admitted if they have qualifications and/or experience acceptable to the faculty's admissions committee.
The
BA (Police Studies) consists of either two major strands or one major strand
and two minor strands, together with sufficient electives to comprise a minimum
of 144 subject points. The police studies major (seven semester subjects) is
compulsory. Other majors and minors may be selected from those accredited in
the BA degree.
A candidate for the degree of BA (Police Studies) is required to include in the
course subjects to a total of at least 144 points but not more than 162 points
including: a minimum of eight and a maximum of 10 subjects taken at first-year
level; not more than two first-year-level subjects that do not form part of a
first-year sequence; such additional subjects at the second and third-year
levels as are required to complete a major sequence in police studies and a
minor sequence in one other discipline. The course of study must be completed
over not less than three years and normally not more than eight years.
A major sequence in police studies shall comprise three successive parts, the first part being a first-year sequence, the second part comprising second-year-level subjects totalling 16 points and third-year-level subjects totalling 24 points.
Bachelor of Arts (Police Studies) students must then select a minimum of five subjects from the following for a major in police studies:
