Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws

This combined degree provides students with the generic skills and understanding of humanities and social sciences in conjunction with legal education for the practice of law.

The courses can also be studied in the external mode.

External students have access to live online tutorials as well as online access to the recordings of all lectures, enabling them to complete the course from anywhere in the world.

The Arts course provides graduates with the ability to understand and study human society.

It develops high levels of written and oral communication skills in the Humanities and Social Sciences, including History, Greek, Chinese (Mandarin) and Indonesian Studies, Political Science and Sociology.

It prepares graduates for research training at honours and postgraduate level.

It is available for external and internal modes of study.

The primary aim of the Law course is to provide a legal education for the practice of law.

In that context, the course aims to provide knowledge of the legal system and legal principles, and to cultivate a capacity for legal research, analysis and communication.

The course also provides international and theoretical perspectives on the law and encourages an appreciation of legal issues of special significance to the Northern Territory, including Aboriginal legal issues.

Graduates of law are not restricted to a career as a solicitor or barrister, if that is not their ambition.

A law degree opens up career options in diverse areas, including in-house counsel of private and public institutions, in teaching, industrial relations, the military, police services, politics, human rights, customs, immigration an in any public or private sector employment where an in-depth understanding of the law is an advantage.

Graduates of this combined degree are awarded both the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Laws.
