Bachelor of Laws (Honours) Combined

Our Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is your entry to a career as a lawyer, or a range of other professions where a passion for justice and attention to detail are key. This degree is offered as a combined program, which means you combine Laws with another degree and get two qualifications in only five years of study.

If you want to be a practising lawyer, you can also complete the Diploma in Legal Practice which merges traditional legal education with skills training and practical legal experience. Students who complete the Diploma in Legal Practice will not have to complete postgraduate professional training or a period of practical legal experience before practising as a solicitor, as placement opportunities are available through the program.
