Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Arts

This course is designed for students of the Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Arts who have shown strong academic ability in law. During this course you’ll study the compulsory academic requirements to practise law, as well as areas of the law which interest you. We make sure you’re work-ready through authentic experiences with public-sector authorities such as the Magistrates’ Courts, and private law firms. When you graduate you'll have the academic requirements in law required to practise law; on completion of the Practical Legal Training requirements you can apply to be admitted to practise law in Australia. You'll also have the skill, knowledge and professional acumen across a range of Arts specialisations, which will enable you to choose from professions outside of the legal sector, including roles in corporate, government, community and non-government organisations. An honours degree in law demonstrates high academic achievement, and can be completed in the same timeframe as a Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Arts.
