Bachelor of Humanities (Western Civilisation)/ Bachelor of Laws (Honours)

This dual degree combines studies in law with a Bachelor of Humanities (with an extended major in Western Civilisation). Students gain a comprehensive understanding of legal principles and institutions, and a critical understanding of core areas of law and legal theory. Students develop analysis skills including traditional and modern legal research methods, legal writing, advocacy and alternative dispute resolution. The humanities component immerses students in a creative and diverse curriculum with a strong critical focus on the key intellectual movements which have shaped Western Civilisation from antiquity to the current day. Graduates are equipped with knowledge and insights applicable to many of the big problems that societies face today, and the collaborative and persuasive skills to bring about meaningful change. In combination, this dual degree provides highly developed knowledge and skills in written communication, problem-solving, critical thinking and interpersonal understanding.
