The Bachelor of Laws equips you with a comprehensive legal education. This world-class degree provides you with a thorough grounding in the law, the social and ethical context in which law operates, while equipping you with essential practical skills including an internship and integrated skills program. This degree provides the opportunity to complete both a discipline major and a second major from the General Schedule of Majors.
