Do you want to make a tangible impact on society? The Master of Security and Crime Science equips you with the skills needed to lead in the fields of security, intelligence, and crime prevention across both public and private sectors.
You’ll integrate knowledge from diverse disciplines, including Statistics, Computer Science, Geographic Information Systems, Population Studies, Psychology, and Management. This interdisciplinary approach will help you develop analytical and innovative methods to address real-world crime and enhance security in a dynamic environment.
The degree offers a pathway to careers in policy development, crime and accident detection, and analysis within both public and private sectors. The skills you acquire will empower you to advance security and community safety.
The program also involves working on real security and crime challenges in partnership with public and private entities. Past collaborations with the New Zealand Police have addressed issues such as drug abuse intervention, creating software for monitoring offenders on bail, developing new methods for researching burglary offenses, studying attitudes towards sex abuse among school-age children, and optimizing traffic patrols.
