The Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Business is a multidisciplinary qualification designed to enable you to gain entry into the legal profession combined with business knowledge and skills. During your legal studies you will learn about legal procedures and key legislation and develop skills necessary to identify, analyse and evaluate facts in relation to legal frameworks. The core areas of the law degree match those required for admission to the legal profession including statutory interpretation, criminal law and procedure, contracts, torts, constitutional law, equity, administrative law, property, company law, evidence, professional responsibility and civil procedure. During your business studies you may major in accounting, financial planning, human resource management, management, marketing, or property. Choosing to study this double degree will put you on the cutting edge of law and business with the appropriate skills to carry you forward into the careers of the future.
The Bachelor of Laws prepares graduates for a career as a legal professional. Aside from the traditional roles as a solicitor, barrister or in-house counsel, a law degree is useful for careers in academia, business, the public service and politics. The Bachelor of Business is your gateway to a wide variety of positions in both the public and private sectors. On completing the course, depending on your major, you will be qualified to work in marketing, general management, human resource management, public relations, property, and accounting - as well as providing an opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in managing sustainable organisations.
