Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and Bachelor of Arts

While either law or arts can be a fine start to your career, you can enhance your options and professional expertise by combining them in this double degree course. A feature of the law component is the large number of specialist units available. Coupled with some 40 arts majors and minors, you can enhance your study of law with subjects such as bioethics, criminology, international relations, holocaust or genocide studies, or indulge your passion for the performing arts, language, music or theatre. You will acquire a solid foundation in the concepts, procedures and reasoning underpinning the Australian legal system and the research, analytical and communication skills of the legal profession. You will also be challenged to think critically and creatively, to resist easy answers or simplistic solutions and to develop an ethical and intellectual framework within which to understand what it means to be human, and how this changes over time.[080589C]
