Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws

Five years full-time
Six years full-time with honours

The Arts/Law degree is an excellent academic foundation for students planning a legal career as well as those who are unsure of their professional path but who are seeking a solid undergraduate degree that can open many further study opportunities and professional pathways.

The first three years are spent studying a combination of subjects from the arts and law faculties. You have the same flexibility to shape your arts studies as if you were undertaking a single degree, but this is combined with foundation units in law. Years four and five are then spent completing the Bachelor of Laws at the Law School.
