Details

Why choose this course?

There is an ever-increasing number of criminal acts resulting from the development and use of technology (such as the Internet and mobile devices); therefore, students with a corporate systems management background have the appropriate skills and knowledge required to work on criminology and policing for these areas. Corporate systems management students also gain information systems knowledge which allows them to more effectively manage, secure and control systems and processing in justice departments.

Corporate systems management teaches students how to analyse business needs and devise IT-enabled business systems that deliver the necessary information to the key people via the most appropriate technologies. The justice component comprises a primary major study area in either criminology or policing, which covers skills in criminology, policing, ethics, crime prevention, justice policy and investigations.
