At The University of Notre Dame Australia, our Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Human Resource Management is a five-year, full-time degree. Intensely challenging and highly practical, this double degree program will expose you to new ways of thinking, giving you the skills to critically analyse existing resources and determine outside-the-box solutions.
As the business world evolves, companies realise that their employees are their most valuable asset. Human resource management can help companies adapt and thrive in constant economic, sociological, and technological changes. Furthermore, because HR managers are increasingly responsible for areas such as training, workplace laws and obligations, succession planning and performance management, a knowledge of the law is invaluable.
By studying subjects such as Commercial Law, Contract Law, and Alternative Dispute Resolution, you will also understand your legal obligations in the workplace. Similarly, your studies in Employment Relations, Human Resource Policy and Change Management will teach you how to apply your knowledge within an organisational structure.
As a graduate, you will receive accreditation from the Australian Human Resource Institute and, pending the completion of the relevant practical legal training, the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia.
Graduates of this program can follow diverse career paths in the private and public sectors; career opportunities range from solicitor, barrister, judge's associate, and research assistant. This double degree's Bachelor of Human Resource Management component will prepare you to specialise in a law career in human resources.
