Bachelor of Laws
Macquarie University - North Ryde
Overview
Oil spills. The conflict in Syria. Euthanasia. Our right to privacy. The law plays an integral role in managing how each of these issues – and countless more across the globe – are analysed, evaluated and resolved.
The hallmark of Macquarie's Bachelor of Laws is its recognition of the way legal frameworks underpin such global issues. You’ll be challenged to think critically about the law to seek innovative solutions to legal problems – skills highly valued by employers. With the option to combine your law degree with many other Macquarie bachelor degrees, you can open the way to an array of careers in legal practice, private industry, government, education and community services.
