Course Details

A double degree expands your knowledge and opens doors to a broad range of career opportunities.

You will graduate with professional honours, an advanced understanding of legal principles of Australian law and the latest legal concepts in management. This legal expertise, combined with the knowledge and skills you’ll gain from your specialisation, will set you on track for a leadership career.

In your law studies you’ll gain practical real-world experience by participating in a law reform project, conducting high level research or undertaking placements in professional settings. You’ll also be involved in mock-trials in our Moot Court, learning what it’s like to be ‘at the bar’ and argue a case before a judge. Throughout your degree, gain valuable experience through the on-campus Legal Advice Clinic, solving legal problems of real clients under the guidance of a managing solicitor.

In your management studies you will get a grounding in key business disciplines through industry and business-focused courses. You will develop the knowledge and skills to manage resources and projects in a global business environment. You will learn to address emerging issues, and to recognise the need for innovation as you progress in your career.
