About Law and Arts
The Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts program provides students with dual qualifications and skills that are well regarded in both the private and public sectors. The Bachelor of Arts provides students with a multidisciplinary education that encourages them to gain knowledge in a range of humanities and social science disciplines. Students will explore disciplines that study the way humans recognise, record and debate human practices, meanings and values. This will aid students in developing contemporary understandings both of the human condition and of how society operates. The Bachelor of Laws program will satisfy the academic requirement for admission as a legal practitioner. Law graduates are required to undergo a period of practical legal training before admission as a legal practitioner and can practice law in Australia.

The double degree ensures a depth of understanding of the cultures within which law is situated and offers opportunities to enhance the literacy skills of graduates of Laws.
