Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws

The Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws is a five-year double degree requiring students to complete 400 credit points across Arts and Law disciplines. The program begins with foundational legal subjects such as Foundations of Law and Legal Research, Contract Law, Australian Public Law, Commercial Law, Criminal Law and Procedure, and Torts, alongside Arts major and minor units. As students progress, they study key areas of law including Business Organisations, Property, Land Law, Statutory Interpretation, Civil Procedure, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Evidence, Constitutional Law, Equity and Trusts, Administrative Law, International Law, Legal Theory, and Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility. The Arts component allows students to develop broader knowledge through a selected major, minor, and elective subjects, with studies progressing from introductory 100-level units to advanced 300-level units. The course also provides practical and professional development through Community Legal Engagement Pro Bono and Pro Bono/Legal Professional Experience units, giving students opportunities to gain experience beyond the classroom. In the final year, students complete advanced compulsory law subjects and several Law Electives, allowing them to explore areas of legal interest. Overall, the program combines comprehensive legal education with interdisciplinary Arts studies, while developing research, communication, critical thinking, analytical, ethical, and practical skills needed for legal practice and other professional careers.
