Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws

This combined degree course provides students with the opportunity to major in a commerce program in conjunction with legal studies with a view to satisfying the academic requirements for admission into the legal profession and, depending on the specialisation completed in the commerce program, possibly the accounting profession.

The Law 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 deals with theoretical perspectives on the law and encourages an appreciation of legal issues of special significance to the Northern Territory, including Aboriginal legal issues.

The Commerce course caters for individuals working in or intending to work in commerce or government in fields such as economics, accounting, management, entrepreneurship, business administration, hospitality or marketing.

It is of particular relevance to Australian or international students seeking membership of Australian professional bodies in these or related fields.

The program provides students with the career and professional skills needed in a rapidly changing business environment.

It allows for flexibility of study and prepares students for careers in a variety of business fields.

In addition, communication, presentation and problem-solving skills are emphasised.

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