Bachelor of Laws/ Bachelor of Arts

Most bachelor degrees take between three and six years to complete. As a double degree, it has more units overall and will add time compared to a single bachelor degree. The exact duration depends on whether you study full-time or part-time, and whether you study during summer and winter terms.

Double degrees let you study two areas at once, graduating with broad expertise. You can combine your passions or pair complementary skills to open up diverse career pathways. You'll finish both qualifications faster than taking them consecutively, and gain a competitive edge.
