Bachelor of Theology/Bachelor of Laws

About

Overview

Theology is fuel for an inquisitive mind, and lawyers are inquisitive by nature. By combining law with a theology degree you will be equipped to stand up for people in need and causes that matter. This unique double degree provides a legal education informed by Christian values and an education in theology that is orientated to the professional values and practice of law. The degree focuses on ethical behaviour, social justice, the common good and the law’s interaction with theology.

Students who have completed 120 credit points of law units with a grade point average of 5.75 and above may apply to complete an honours degree.
