Bachelor of Commerce/ Bachelor of Laws

Where will your degree take you?

This combined program can provide you stand out career options. In conjunction with the Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, you can apply for admission to legal practice. 

You may find employment as a solicitor, in-house lawyer, barrister, corporate or public servant, or you may choose to take on roles in business or industry such as an accountant or merchant banker.

Legal professional

Upon being admitted to legal practice, you can work as a solicitor in a law firm, government or a private organisation utilising your skills in law and commerce.

Barrister

Upon being admitted to the legal profession and completing the bar practice course, you can work as a barrister. A barrister is an independent advocate and advisor and is often highly skilled in a particular area of law.

Non-legal role

Graduating with a law degree provides you with an array of legal skills which include critical thinking, analysis, problem solving, conflict resolution and advocacy which can be transferred into any non-legal role.  This career pathway doesn’t necessarily require you to be admitted to the legal profession.  You can work in non-legal roles in management and consulting, politics, human resources, investment banking and more.
