COURSE DESCRIPTION
Our fast-track trimester timetable makes it easy to tackle a double degree at Bond. In fact, you can complete two degrees here in less time than you could graduate with just one at most other universities.
The Bachelor of International Relations / Bachelor of Laws combination can be done in just over 3 years (10 semesters) here, whereas it can take up to 4 years to complete a single law degree elsewhere.
The combination of International Relations and Law opens up a fascinating range of career opportunities in corporate, government and not-for-profit settings here in Australia and around the world.
With a Bachelor of International Relations / Bachelor of Laws, you will have the option to specialise in international relations, go on to qualify as a practising solicitor or set your sights on a career in politics, diplomacy, international aid, international law and much more.
Graduate with enhanced skills in written and oral communication, including negotiation, advocacy, dispute resolution and legal writing, combined with an in-depth knowledge of politics, diplomacy, and governance.
The Bachelor of International Relations prepares you for a fascinating career in a globalising world. Global and regional interdependence means that no state is unaffected by developments beyond its borders. Prosperity and security are based on international orientations. Businesses, governments, and organisations need people equipped with relevant professional skills and competencies in International Relations. You will explore a rich variety of interconnected issues in International Relations and the factors which shape them, including war and peace on our planet, human security, diplomacy, governance, and the influence of climate change on the future world. You will gain insight into politics, economy, and diplomacy both in Australia and other world geographic regions. An in-depth understanding of the world around us and the skills needed for its interpretation equip you for future employment in International Relations and many other areas where such capacities are required.
The Bachelor of Laws prepares you for a career as a legal professional, both within Australia and overseas. It provides you with a thorough grounding in essential areas of substantive law and access to a wide choice of law elective subjects, including the option of completing a specialisation. An integrated skills and professionalism program is embedded in the degree and focuses on core legal skills essential to the practice of law. The Bachelor of Laws provides an engaging learning experience that challenges students academically and prepares them practically for a legal career.
Where will your degree take you?
The Bachelor of International Relations / Bachelor of Laws enables you to graduate with two undergraduate degrees. The combined degrees provide you with the professional outcomes and opportunities of both individual degrees.
Completing these combined degrees will provide opportunities for a range of careers in the legal industry, private and international organisations, government and not for profit sectors.
To become a legal practitioner, you are required to complete a practical legal training program such as the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (GDLP) or a traineeship following the completion of the Bachelor of Laws degree. Graduates may seek to practise law whilst utilising an understanding of the global environment or employ their understanding of law to work in industries with a global perspective such as diplomacy, foreign affairs, or international business with a background in compliance, regulation, and intellectual property.
