Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Laws

The five-year Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Laws double degree combines comprehensive legal education with practical business knowledge, preparing students for careers across law, commerce, finance, government, and private enterprise. In Year 1, students establish foundations in law through legal research, contract law, Australian public law, and commercial law, while developing business skills in financial literacy, marketing, people management, and information technology. Year 2 expands legal knowledge through criminal law, torts, business organisations, and community legal engagement, alongside core curriculum and business major studies. In Year 3, students progress to statutory interpretation, property, civil procedure, alternative dispute resolution, and land law, while continuing their business major and completing pro bono legal experience. Year 4 introduces advanced areas including evidence, legal ethics and professional responsibility, constitutional law, equity and trusts, legal theory, and business requirements analysis. In Year 5, students study administrative and international law, complete several law electives, and undertake their final business major requirements. The curriculum therefore provides a strong understanding of both legal principles and commercial operations, while emphasising professional responsibility, community service, and practical legal experience. Students develop analytical, research, communication, problem-solving, and professional skills through legal studies, business subjects, pro bono activities, and community engagement. Overall, the double degree provides a broad and flexible foundation for pursuing legal practice or business-focused careers, including opportunities in corporate law, commercial organisations, government, finance, and related professional fields.
