Overview
The double degree of Bachelor of Arts (Advanced) with Bachelor of Laws (Hons) offers students a unique insight into the sociology of crime and deviance and the operation of the Australian legal system, with particular strengths in criminal justice policy and practice. The double degree provides a broadly based liberal and academic education suitable for graduates who wish to become legal practitioners, or to pursue careers in government, commerce, industry, community organisations or academic institutions.
The program consists of compulsory courses in the disciplines of law and arts which provide students with a sound understanding of legal, humanities, and social science concepts, processes and methods. In addition, students choose from a range of elective courses in areas of specialised interest in both law and arts.
The Honours Degree of the Bachelor of Laws provides a deeper knowledge in a particular area of law, with a focus on high level research and writing skills. Students will develop a greater understanding of original research, and learn to construct, refine, develop and write a major research essay. Graduates with Honours will be particularly suited to careers involving research. The program is structured to incorporate a substantial research focus.
The Bachelor of Arts (Advanced) with Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4.5 years.
