COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Arts will equip you for today’s rapidly changing world. You will develop skills and capacities necessary to understand how the world has come to be the way it is today.
Majoring in legal studies will provide you with a sound understanding of the Australian legal system and its court structure. You will learn key aspects of private law in Australia, including principles of the law of contract and torts, and be able to critically examine the relationship between law and justice.
This major consists of four core subjects with a broad range of elective options, including family law, international business law and taxation law. In your final year you will undertake a law research project where you will work with a supervisor on a research topic to produce a thesis addressing real-world issues, using knowledge and skills obtained in the legal studies major.
This flexible major allows you to create a degree around your interests by combining legal studies with a minor or a second major from the Faculty of the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities offerings.
The legal studies major is not available to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts – Bachelor of Laws degree.
