The degree brings together a range of disciplines that relate to human experience and behaviour, such as policing, criminology, risk management, law, sociology and psychology, politics, and public policy through two study options:
- The In-service pathway is an opportunity for serving police officers to build on their training and experience with a recognised University qualification, or
- The Conventional pathway offers a comprehensive social sciences education with a specific focus on policing studies.
Whether you wish to work in policing, forensics, intelligence, risk analysis, justice, legal or correctional services, the Bachelor of Social Science (Police Studies) is the perfect degree to provide you with the knowledge and expertise for policing solutions in the real world.
The Department of Police, Fire and Emergency Management in Tasmania endorses these professional programs. The Tertiary Education Assistance Scheme (which involves Commissioner's scholarships and interest-free loans) is an incentive for eligible Tasmania Police officers to undertake study at the University of Tasmania.
Course objectives
The Bachelor of Social Science (Police Studies) is designed to provide students with high quality social science training together with specific knowledge and skills of policing. Graduates with this degree will have learned the following:
- to understand and analyse complex issues concerning policing practice in contemporary society;
- to understand the changing roles and expectations of police in the context of a changing society;
- to articulate the interaction between theory and practice in police studies;
- to develop a broad array of intellectual, practical and professional capabilities; to develop critical, analytical and communication skills;
- to organise and conduct research projects.
Work placement
Career outcomes
The degree provides a sound academic base for those considering careers in policing. For serving police officers, the acquisition of tertiary qualifications is clearly becoming advantageous for career advancement.
