Overview

Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and Bachelor of Arts

While either Law or Arts can be a fine start to your career, you can enhance your options and professional expertise by combining them in this sought-after double degree course.

Tailored to your interests and career aspirations, a feature of our Law course is the large number of specialist units available. 

Coupled with some 40 Arts majors and minors, you can blend your study of Law with subjects such as bioethics, criminology, international relations, holocaust or genocide studies, or indulge your passion for the performing arts, language, music or theatre. 

The choice is yours.

This course leads to two separate degrees:

  • the Bachelor of Laws (Honours), and
  • the Bachelor of Arts.

Arts Majors:

  • Anthropology
  • Chinese studies
  • Communications and media studies
  • Criminology
  • Economics
  • Film and screen studies
  • Global Asia
  • History
  • Human geography
  • Human rights
  • Indigenous cultures and histories
  • Indonesian studies
  • International relations
  • International studies
  • Japanese studies
  • Journalism
  • Korean studies
  • Literary studies
  • Music
  • Philosophy
  • Politics
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

You will gain all the benefits of each degree course and be fully equipped to pursue a career in either field separately or to combine the two in your chosen work.

Graduates with these two degrees will have a solid foundation in the concepts, procedures and reasoning underpinning the Australian legal system and the research, analytical and communication skills of the legal profession. 

In Arts, they will have been challenged to think critically and creatively, to resist easy answers or simplistic solutions and to develop an ethical and intellectual framework within which to understand what it means to be human, and how this changes over time. 

Taken together with the opportunities to study overseas and undertake work-based projects, it's a dynamic combination.

The course offers opportunities for law graduates to focus on issues of policy and governance in addition to direct legal services. 

Graduates will be highly sought-after across a broad range of areas including diplomacy and trade, human rights and international law, intellectual property and publishing, advertising, marketing, entertainment law and international business.

Factor in significant opportunities for hands-on practical experience (including the clinical legal education program); 

international study (including at the Prato Centre in Italy);

 a supportive and industry-focused community (including a dynamic Law Students' Society); 

and the prestige that comes with a degree from a leading law school and you'll have the ideal foundation for a lifelong career.

In later years of the course, you will be able to choose from a broad range of elective law units.

You will have opportunities to study overseas, and to undertake work-based learning, for example, in the legal clinical program and in local and international internships.
