CLAWHBU Bachelor of Laws (Honours) - Legal Practice Entry/Bachelor of Business

Overview

This combined degree enables you to follow your interests and aspirations whilst enhancing your career prospects by concurrently undertaking two different but complementary areas of study.

The Bachelor of Laws (Honours) - 4 years is designed to offer students of exceptional merit the opportunity to maximise their potential, by providing an environment in which students with similar capabilities and interests will work with key staff of the College to develop their legal knowledge and expertise as they pursue their studies.

Students who complete this award cannot be admitted to Legal Practice without completing further practical training. This course provides conditional offer of entry to the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, subject to meeting admission requirements of that course.

The Bachelor of Business combines practical learning based on solving real-world business problems with the skills to analyse and understand key issues that businesses deal with every day. This degree provides students with the fundamental knowledge, contemporary case studies, workplace skills development and industry experience to pursue a career in business.
