The Law School offers a Bachelor of Laws degree (LLB) which can be completed as a single degree or as part of a double degree program. The compulsory requirements of the Law degree ensure a thorough grounding in common law principles and legal methodology while a wide choice of elective courses range from the commercial (eg, Intellectual Property, and Taxation Law) to liberal and socially-oriented topics (such as Family Law and Legal Theory). The Law degree provides graduates with a rigorous knowledge of the areas of substantive law necessary to undertake legal practice within a broad liberal education.
The program for the law degree consists of compulsory law courses which provide students with a sound understanding of legal concepts, processes and methods. In addition, students choose from a range of elective law courses in areas of specialised interest, such as Family Law, International Law, Insolvency Law and Criminal Law.

As an example, a Bachelor of Arts (3 years) and Bachelor of Laws (4 years) may be completed in five years if undertaken concurrently.
Completion of a double degree program makes our graduates uniquely placed to take up some of the specialist career opportunities offered beyond the law. Students can choose from a wide range of areas including:
