If you're interested in both legal and economic analysis, the Bachelor of Economics/Law provides you the opportunity to examine the formation, process, structure and economic impact of law, policy and legal institutions.
You'll develop a critical understanding of legal frameworks, processes and systems, while also studying economic issues such as international trade, inflation, government policy and competition, strategic behaviour and unemployment. By gaining in-depth knowledge in both areas, you’ll be prepared for a career in either economic or legal practice.
Our graduates have excellent analytical skills, a capacity for scholarly research, effective oral and written communication skills, and a commitment to personal and professional development, ethical practice and social responsibility.
