COURSE DESCRIPTION
Overview
Tailor your study to your interests with this comprehensive and flexible double degree.
Through this degree, you will develop foundational business knowledge and combine this with substantive areas of law to develop into a practitioner with sound commercial understandings, ethics and skills. As a student of an accredited law degree, you will be able to pursue traditional legal careers requiring admission to practice, and will develop core skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and effective communication.
Career
As a graduate of the Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Business, you will have diverse career options in both sectors.
With your law degree, you may pursue work in:
the commercial legal sector
the government sector or legal aid
community law or non-government organisations (NGOs)
in-house with corporations and unions
academia
the media
politics and business.
To be eligible to be admitted to practise law in Australia, graduates must additionally complete the Practical Legal Training (PLT) requirements, either through one year of Supervised Workplace Training with a law firm or an approved PLT course. The PLT course can be undertaken on a fee-paying basis through Leo Cussen Centre for Law or The College of Law.
With the skills developed in your business studies, you will be prepared for jobs that are growing or yet to be defined. New occupations are emerging, often as the result of disruptions and megatrends.
Due to high demand for specialised and hybrid skills and knowledge, roles are emerging in areas such as nanotechnology, big data, data analysis, digitalisation, AI and automation, and the green and circular economies. You may work in roles such as:
accountant
actuary
auditor
digital marketing strategist
