Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws

• This double degree provides you with exposure to multiple skill areas and employment opportunities in the dynamic business or law industries. 
• Within the Bachelor of Laws, you will learn about the traditional approaches in the litigation process, as well as the increasingly important alternative methods of resolving disputes. 
• Understand more about conflict and communication, negotiating and mediating – from a theoretical as well as practical perspective. Learn from academics and expert industry-professionals to ensure you’re ready for your chosen career.   
• Interested in law but undecided if you’ll go on to a career in legal practice? This professionally-orientated double degree also builds the special capabilities that a legal and business education can offer. Develop analytical, complex problem-solving and research skills.   
• Benefit from UniSQ’s close ties with the business industry and have the opportunity to complete professional work experience where you’ll work with an organisation to complete a project. Hone your skills in UniSQ’s Toowoomba and Ipswich Moot Courts and Ipswich Law clinic and gain professional experience in law practices, advocacy and support centres, making you a highly employable graduate.
• Study a double degree as it takes less time than doing the programs separately, can save you time and money, and you graduate with two testamurs (official certificates) for each of your degrees.

Please see individual entry requirements for Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws.

English language requirements

You are required to satisfy the applicable English language requirements and this degree requires a minimum of IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. If you do not meet the English language requirements you may apply to study a University-approved English language program.

Recognition of prior learning or work experience

You may be eligible for recognition of prior learning if you have previously studied or have relevant work experience. This will help to reduce the number of courses that you need to study to finish your program.

Please note we cannot award credit within the Bachelor of Laws on the basis of work experience due to the professional accreditation requirements. 

• As a graduate with a double degree, your career opportunities are extensive and vary widely depending on your chosen majors.
• Careers can include private practice solicitor or barrister, corporate legal counsel, forensic investigator, business analyst, financial institutional lawyer, government sector employee at state or federal level or in-house positions with businesses or community organisations requiring specialist in-house legal skills. Additionally, you could become a professional within your selected business major (e.g., HR advisor, IT project manager, or marketing specialist). 

Your actual fees may vary depending on the courses you select. We review our fees annually so these may be subject to change.
