Overview

Bachelor of Arts - Bachelor of Laws

Discovered how an understanding of social systems can support knowledge of the legal system. 

As you study for the Bachelor of Arts - Bachelor of Laws joint degree at James Cook University, you’ll learn the role of law in social, economic, environmental and political contexts. 

You’ll also consider the importance of stable government, economic prosperity, the protection of individual and cultural rights, and the well-being of societies in the Tropics and throughout Australia. 

You’ll then explore the connections between the two to understand how the Arts and Law can complement each other.

Practical work placements will ensure you are work-ready when you graduate. 

This program enables you to develop an understanding of a broad and coherent body of legal knowledge, the Australian legal system, and underlying principles and concepts, including international and comparative contexts.

The arts disciplines will help you understand how humans recognise, record and debate human practices, meanings and values and will show you how to apply this understanding to historical and contemporary contexts

You can choose up to two majors or one major with two minors, which can complement your studies in Law, broaden your area of expertise, or allow you to pursue topics that spark your interest.

 

ARTS MAJOR: Anthropology, Archaeology, Criminology, Design and Creative Arts, English, History, Human Geography, Human Services, Indigenous Studies, Politics and International Relations, Psychology Studies, Sociology
