Overview

The Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts double degree at CQU enables students to complete both the Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts in five years of full-time study. This degree provides students with dual qualifications and skills that are well regarded in the private and public sectors.

The Bachelor of Arts component provides students with a multidisciplinary education across humanities and social science disciplines. Students will study the way humans recognise, record and debate human practices, meanings and values, equipping students with a contemporary understanding of both the human condition and how society operates. The Bachelor of Laws component satisfies the academic requirement for admission as a legal practitioner. As a law graduate, students are required to undergo a period of practical legal training before admission as a legal practitioner and being able to practice law in Australia.
