Hear from our Bondies

  • Criminology student

    "Bond’s Masters of Criminology is not all about textbooks and theories, but rather the practical experience of what it’s like to work as a criminologist. As a part of my studies I was fortunate enough to take a private tour of a correctional centre. The tour served as a practical application of my studies and was an invaluable opportunity that reminded me of the wide-spectrum of avenues in which I can use my degree to help others achieve a better life.”

    Stephanie Marr - Behaviour Management alumna

  • "Our Graduate Certificate allows students to gain skills that will provide them with a competitive edge in a condensed program. Given the changes in crime and social harms, our degrees look at crime patterns and trends, public and media influence on policy in how states respond, and situates crime events involving offenders, victims, and communities within cultural and historical contexts.”
