Bachelor of Business / Bachelor of Laws (Honours) (pre 2016)
The University of Newcastle
About
Within this combined degree program, students study a combination of Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws courses over a period of five years full-time.
On completion of the first three years students are eligible to graduate with a Bachelor of Business degree.
In the final two years of the combined degree program students complete the requirements of the Bachelor of Laws and may enrol in these two years on a less than full time basis.Students completing this combined degree become specialists in Business and also meet the academic requirement to practice law in NSW.
However, students must also complete postgraduate professional training approved by the Legal Profession Admission Board to practice as a solicitor.
Alternatively, students completing this degree may apply for entry to the Bachelor of Laws/Diploma of Legal Practice Program - see separate handbook entry - which allows immediate admission to legal practice on graduation.Commencement in this program is only available in Semester 1.
Due to timetabling issues this program is not available for a Semester 2 commencement.
