Course summary


Studying Applied Criminology with Criminal Investigation at CCCU involves exploring answers to some of society’s biggest questions. Our course provides you with a thorough understanding of the theories, methods, and practices involved in studying crime and conducting criminal investigations. You’ll benefit from over twenty-five years’ experience of police education, CCCU was the first university to provide a detective education programme.

Our innovative and interdisciplinary curriculum focuses on the intersections between crime, justice and society, enabling you to understand the importance of cooperation and communication between agencies within criminal justice. You will also learn about the impact of social problems and structures. It will equip you with a strong foundation in criminological theories and a critical understanding of criminal justice processes.

You’ll explore who commits crime and why, learn how the criminal justice system treats victims and why the law criminalises some harmful behaviours but not others. Our emphasis on learning through experience will enable you to practice investigative interviewing and ethical decision making.
