Course Structure

To qualify for the degree, students must complete successfully a number of units weighted at 100% at level 100, 100% at level 200, and 100% at level 300 (ie a total of 300%).

At level 100 (first year), students must complete 100% in units from four disciplines (weighted at a maximum of 25% for each discipline) which are listed in two categories (A1 and A2) in Schedule A.

At least two disciplines must be chosen from List A1 - Government (level 100 units that constitute parts of the International Relations, Public Policy and Political Science majors), Sociology, Social Ecology (Hobart or distance study only), History, Philosophy.

No more than two disciplines can be chosen from List A2 - Psychology, Human Resource Management, Information Systems, Law. Note that students who include Law in their program of study are not permitted to undertake a Law major as part of this particular degree in subsequent years.

At level 200 (second year), students must complete 50% in units from the Police Studies major and 50% from one of the disciplines chosen at level 100 (apart from Law).

At level 300 (third year), students must complete 50% in units from the Police Studies major and 50% from the discipline chosen to continue at level 200 (which then becomes the second major).
