Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws

About

Bond’s accelerated three-semester-per-year timetable makes it easy to tackle a double degree. In fact, you can complete two degrees at Bond in less time than you could graduate with just one at most other universities.

Bond’s Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws combination takes just under four years to complete.

The combination of Arts and Law will allow you to tailor your studies according to your interests by selecting your choice of Humanities subjects in combination with a recognised Law degree that is an approved degree for admission to legal practice, in conjunction with the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice.

Our Arts program features a selection of 12 majors, including criminology, psychology, international relations, and media studies; all of which complement your law studies to develop a multi-layered skillset that will really stand out to future employers.

Career

Where will your degree take you?

Completing this combined program will provide opportunities for a range of careers in private, government and not for profit sectors. Graduates may seek to practise law whilst utilising a strong, broad set of skills essential to all professions no matter what the chosen career. Or they may employ their study of humanities to work in alternative industries and apply their legal background in compliance, regulation, and intellectual property.

The combined degree provides you with the professional outcomes and opportunities of both individual degrees. In conjunction with the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice (GDLP), you can be admitted as a legal professional.

Outcomes

Legal profession

There are a range of career opportunities upon being admitted to legal practice. These include working as a solicitor where you can work in a firm, government, or community legal centre as well as in-house counsel. As an In-house counsel you will utilise your legal skills across a broad range of areas for the benefit of a particular organisation.

Upon completing the bar practice course, you could work as a barrister. As a Barrister, you will acquire in depth knowledge and experience in a particular area of law.

Non-legal role

Graduating with a law degree provides you with an array of legal skills which include critical thinking, analysis, problem solving, conflict resolution and advocacy which can be transferred into any non-legal role. This career pathway doesn’t necessarily require you to be admitted to legal practice, however your knowledge of the law could underpin and benefit your non legal career. Non-legal roles could include working in politics, journalism, human resources, management consulting, advertising, communications, marketing, media and more.
