Students will study law to master the transformative power of law reform. They will study philosophy to understand and appreciate distinct worldviews, as well as how they clash and how they work together. Students will study economics to understand the practical economic consequences of policy and the potential of economic reform. They will study politics to understand and address the challenges of a globalised world.
The program prepares graduates for a career in public governance, public leadership, and ultimately public influence.
Encompassing subjects from the Faculty of Law, Bond Business School and Faculty of Society & Design, this multi-disciplinary program prepares students for the dynamic demands of the 21st century.
