Overview

Bachelor of Commerce / Bachelor of Laws (Honours)

Within the combined degree program at The University of Newcastle, students study Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Laws (Honours) courses over five years full-time

Upon completing the first three years, students will have completed all the courses required for the Bachelor of Commerce degree. 

In the final two years of the combined degree program, students complete the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) requirements and may enrol in these two years on a less than full-time basis.

Students completing this combined degree program become specialists in Commerce and meet the academic requirements to practice law in NSW. 

However, students wishing to practice law must also complete postgraduate professional training approved by the Legal Profession Admission Board. 

Alternatively, students completing this degree may apply for the Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Diploma of Legal Practice Program, which allows immediate admission to legal practice upon graduation.

From Semester 1, 2023, the Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws (Honours) program has been revised to remove 10 units of electives, which has been replaced by a 10-unit Work Integrated Learning directed course. 

Commencement in this program is only available in Semester 1. Due to timetabling issues, this program is unavailable for a Semester 2 commencement.
