COURSE DESCRIPTION
Bond’s accelerated three-semester-per-year timetable makes it easy to tackle a double degree. In fact, you can complete two degrees at Bond in less time than you could graduate with just one at most other universities.
Bond’s Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws combination takes just under four years to complete.
The combination of Arts and Law will allow you to tailor your studies according to your interests by selecting your choice of Humanities subjects in combination with a recognised Law degree that is an approved degree for admission to legal practice, in conjunction with the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice.
Our Arts program features a selection of 12 majors, including criminology, psychology, international relations, and media studies; all of which complement your law studies to develop a multi-layered skillset that will really stand out to future employers.
In today’s world of change and transformations, with internationalisation affecting every aspect of our lives, there has never been a greater need to understand ourselves and others as cultural and intercultural beings. Bachelor of Arts offers a great range of Majors which can equip you with an in-depth knowledge of and an insight into the Arts and Humanities fields including philosophy, human thought and activity, communication and global studies. The choices offered as part of the Bachelor of Arts degree will advance your understanding of yourself and your culture, will enable you to develop intercultural awareness through comparing your culture with other cultures, and to progress skills needed for living and working in a globalised world.
