Bachelor of Construction Management Studies / Bachelor of Laws

About

Construction Management Studies at Western mixes work experience with study resulting in theoretical, practical and hands-on knowledge that is greatly valued in the construction industry. Your studies will include practical experiments in building technology such as acoustics, heat flow through a building, corrosion of materials, concrete testing and more. The skills you develop will then be used during your 1,200 hours of approved practical experience during the duration of the program. The Bachelor of Laws provides students with a broad progressive legal education with a strong practical orientation to the law. Students develop skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, research, communication, collaboration, self-management, and ethical and professional awareness and judgement. Students will also develop skills in legal advocacy, negotiation, and legal technology and extend their professional and learning experiences through work integrated learning, clinical placement and international exchange engagements. Law at Western gives you a strong background in fundamental legal principles, as well as professional legal skills. This includes the ability to analyse legal material and understand fundamental legal principles, an understanding of the relationship between law and society, general analytical skills for analysing and solving non-legal problems, and specialised study into the Australian legal system. You will develop skills in advocacy, negotiation, legal drafting and legal research. Together, Construction Management Studies and Laws give you a highly marketable career path with career opportunities in both disciplines. Note: Subjects for Construction Management are offered at the Penrith campus and Law subjects are offered at Campbelltown and Parramatta campuses. Travel between campuses is required to complete your core subjects. Night and weekend classes are also available for selected law subjects.
