Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics (double degree)

The Bachelor of Laws degree provides a gateway to a rewarding career in Law and can provide a strong foundation for other career opportunities. This degree will prepare you to work as a lawyer in a private practice, in government, as corporate counsel or in a not-for-profit organisation.

The Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics is designed for students who want to understand human communities and society. The program trains future leaders and professionals who wish to make a difference in all walks of life. Students will learn to integrate knowledge, by focussing on how society can either promote or thwart human flourishing. Philosophy will provide the concepts and skills to identify questions and problems and the ability to think through them clearly and creatively. Studying Politics, students will consider governance, leadership, and the importance of law and policy. Studying Economics, they will learn to solve a range of problems through economic reasoning. Bringing together these disciplines, graduates will appreciate the central importance of the human person’s quest to lead a good life, working with others toward the common good. The degree will also equip students to be attentive to the role of religion within society, and the importance of civil disagreement in the public square.
