Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws (015206G)

Graduating with two versatile degrees sets students up for a career without limitations. Students can combine an industry-leading legal education with thought-provoking investigative learning when they study Deakin University's Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws. They will study everything from torts to commercial law at Deakin Law School, while exploring a complementary specialization, including criminology, sociology, politics, policy studies and media studies, through their arts degree.

The real-world experience students gain throughout their degree will prepare them for roles across a wide range of fields. In the law stream, they can work on real cases alongside established legal professionals at the Deakin Law Clinic. In the arts stream, they will develop industry-relevant skills on work-integrated learning projects and, depending on their major, they may choose to undertake a study abroad experience.

The law operates in, and is influenced by, many external factors; from society to economics and the environment to politics. A combined Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws course gives students the extra knowledge and skills to understand and work with these related issues.

Deakin Law School provides a strong foundation in all major areas of law, including: • Contracts law • Legal practice and ethics • Criminal law and procedure • Torts • Property law • Constitutional law • Administrative law.
