Bachelor of Information Technology/Bachelor of Laws (Honours)

This degree gives you the ability to practise law in the complex information and technology environments generated by manufacturers, data processing consultancies and private and government organisations.

Areas of specialisation include business process management, data warehousing, digital societies, enterprise systems, information management, network systems, software engineering, and web technologies. In the law component, students develop advanced legal research and writing skills, and skills in interviewing, advocacy and dispute resolution. The course covers all academic subjects required for admission to legal practice and offers a range of law electives to align with career aims.
