COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) provides you with an accredited qualification in law whilst enabling learning to be contextualised to the discipline of engineering.
The degree also provides you with a broad, well-rounded legal education that inculcates an understanding of the role the law plays in our society and of how it can assist Australia as a trading nation.
When you graduate, you’ll have the technical expertise and management skills for a career within biomedical, civil, construction, manufacturing, mechanical, network and telecommunication engineering environments.
Work Integrated Learning is a guaranteed part of all our bachelor degrees. In this double degree, you’ll complete law-related professional experience placements at organisations in Australia or overseas. You’ll also be introduced to the practical aspects of legal practice through moot court scenarios and advocacy exercises, and you’ll also apply your learning in eight project units (one per semester) related to engineering in professionally focused, industry-linked projects.
