About this course

Study a Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws for a degree that can be tailored to your career aspirations.

Upon graduating you'll be ready to launch straight into your career thanks to our Future Ready employability program, designed to systematically build each of the elements of your personal brand: your professional identity; experience; job-ready skills; and networks.

As part of your law studies you'll gain the skills and knowledge to become a confident, ethical lawyer who can make a real contribution to the legal profession and the community. And by pairing law with commerce, you'll have the opportunity to expand your career outcomes to gain professional accreditation in human resource management, accounting, marketing and law.

Our unique Business Foundation Program, co-created with industry and integrated across all our business courses, assists you as you transition to university study and provides a solid foundation of business skills. Plus, the Business Foundation Program helps you gain an understanding of different areas of business, so you can identify your personal interests before choosing your specialisation.

During your law degree, you'll get a lot of hands on experience - such as mooting competitions and pro bono placements. While studying commerce, you will take part in community and industry placements, and learn through gamified business simulations based on real-world situations. Plus, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, data analytics, cloud skills and cloud data services are wired into your studies - so you can tick Microsoft certification off your to-do list and get an edge in the job market.

Students who have completed 120 credit points of law units with a grade point average of 5.75 and above may apply to complete an honours degree.
