A focus on international policing examines the broad body of knowledge of the history and context of international policing, including relevant developments in Australia and overseas.

Choose your career pathway

The dissertation enables you to undertake advanced research in a specialist area of practice, while the work-based project will hone your specialist skills in designing improvements to a process, policy or practice, resulting in a comprehensive report, journal article, training program or policy recommendation.
