This program combines the main elements of a Bachelor of Arts degree with specialist study in Law. Students in the double program commence their studies with units from the Bachelor of Arts component, gradually the proportion of study devoted to law increases until in the final years most students are only enrolled in units from the Bachelor of Laws component.

A higher HSC score is required for admission to this program, but transfer in later years from the BA to the double program is possible for students who have a better than average academic record.

Graduates can expect to find opportunities for employment in areas such as commerce, banking, management, the Public Service, the Diplomatic Service, private or public legal practice, industry, research, counselling, social work and teaching. The double program provides an extensive range of educational experience, offering maximum flexibility within the legal profession and/or in an applied legal environment.

Government statistics suggest that approximately 95 per cent of law graduates are employed within three months of their graduation.

Summer Semester provides an opportunity for students to fast-track their academic progression or to catch up on units required to complete the degree. A selection of units is offered off-campus during the normal semester break from November to February, enabling students to study from home and to accelerate their progress towards graduation.
