Course overview

Law shapes the way societies function. It governs everything from how we respond to environmental disasters to how we manage conflict, safeguard privacy and uphold human rights. As global challenges evolve, the world needs people who can analyse complex issues, interpret competing interests and design solutions that balance justice, ethics and impact. This is why legal know-how is valued far beyond the courtroom – in business, government, finance and advocacy – anywhere clear thinking and strong reasoning are essential. The Bachelor of Laws is built around real experience and genuine connection with industry. You’ll have opportunities to complete an internship for academic credit at a leading firm, including Allens, Ashurst, Clayton Utz or MinterEllison – a springboard many former students have leveraged to secure a permanent role – or gain client-facing experience at Wallumatta Legal, our not-for-profit family law firm dedicated to improving access to justice. You’ll be encouraged to further build your practical capabilities by working with our Social Justice and Strategic Litigation Clinics, and you’ll learn within a modern law precinct that facilitates collaboration with your peers and academics.
